Problem with Promnise IDE Controller between Kernel 2.2.19 and 2.4.8 ??

[Peter Biechele <Peter.Biechele@bextec.de>]

I have a problem not strictly connected to Debian, but because I am running 
Debian, I will ask it here:

I have installed the kernel 2.2.19 from the Woody CD distributed on the Linux 
Tag in Stuttgart this year. I had to use the special IDE kernel to get my 
Promise Ultra IDE Controller running. Because I have two harddisks on this 
controller and a CD ROM on an ordinary IDE Controller, my harddisks are 
recognized like:

hda - disk 1
hdc - CD ROM
hde - disk 2 

Now I compiled a new kernel myself (2.4.8) and started it. It all works fine, 
except a very annoying and bad behaviour: the new kernel does recognize the 
disks in a different sequence:

hda - CD ROM
hde - disk 1
hdg - disk2 

This is no problem for the lilo.conf, where I can specify the root disk 
seperately, but what to do with /etc/fstab ?? 

Can I specify the way the disks are detected by the IDE controller ???
Or is that due to the fact, that I have compiled in the usual IDE controller 
AND the Promise driver ??

Thanks for any help,

Peter Biechele
