how to control/override dev assigment 3ware and USB
I am trying to install using Debian etch b3 daily snapshot for 2006.09.19.
The system is a Chaintech MB with Intel 875 chipset. There is a 3ware
8006 (SATA, 2port) and a USB card reader installed.
The CD is attached to secondary IDE on-board controller. I have now
disabled the primary IDE on-board controller and the on-board SATA
controller.
The installation goes fine. The 3ware is found as /dev/sde. Using the
b3 installer, grub failed to install but with the daily snapshot grub
installed fine.
Upon reboot, grub is found, the 3ware is found as /dev/sde, a couple of
things accessing the 3ware go fine, then the USB card-reader is found
and it assigns devices /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, and then stops
/dev/sde, where upon the boot freezes.
I need to some how overcome this conflict.
I booted a Knoppix LiveCD to try fixing the system, or at least get
device details but the logs are empty.
Is this a known problem?
Does any one have suggestions on how best to fix this?
Thanks
