Package: kernel-image-2.6-686-smp
Version: 2.6.18+6
I have dual Opteron server based on TYAN S2882-D Thunder K8SD Pro mainboard. Disks are IDE, SATA, SATA, SCSI RAID 5 on Adaptec 2130S PCI-X controller.
When booting standard kernel, I cannot have SATA and SCSI disks mounted automatically from fstab. Seems, that in the middle of booting process, the SCSI disks simply switch their positions.
First the SATA takes sda+sdb and SCSI takes sdc until the time of fsck. Then, upon mounting, SATA takes sdb+sdc and SCSI moves to sda.
As the disks have different partitioning, I get either fsck errors or mount errors, whatever I set the fstab.
The only way is to disable automatic mounting and perform the mound manually after the whole bootup process.
If I use custom compiled all-in-one kernel (without modules), everything keeps stable: SCSI takes sda, SATA takes sdb+sdc, definitely.
I attach kernel log files from Debian (2.6.18) and from custom (2.6.19.2) kernel.

Device names are not stable. Use uuids or labels.
