Re: hde vs hda drive designation
This happened to me in the past... I think what happend in my case was:
I changed the IDE from being a module to be *IN* the kernel, so in the
first situation the extra raid IDE was detected *AFTER* initrd, so hda
was already assigned when detected the extra IDE. And, in the later, was
recognized at the very beggining, so it was possible for it to be hda...
I preferred it be compiled *IN* the kernel, so I did a remap of the
drives in grub menu.
Hope this helps.
