Re: Bug#485609: Problem with device renaming and grub after clean install

[Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl>]

reassign 485609 linux-2.6 2.6.24-7
retitle 485609 modules.pcimap lists both pata_sis and sis5513 for [1039:5513]
thanks

Reason for this is that the Debian kernel provides two modules that
support your IDE controller:
$ grep 1039.*5513 /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/modules.pcimap
pata_sis             0x00001039 0x00005513 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x0
sis5513              0x00001039 0x00005513 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x0

Which gets loaded is somewhat random and apparently the installer used
the second (setting the system up to use /dev/hda), while after the
reboot the first was used (changing the device name to /dev/sda).

This is a known issue listed in the errata.

Reassigning your report to the kernel team because AFAIK we should not
be listing two modules for the same controller.
