Confusion between hde1 and hda1



Lo,

My first message, be kind! When I installed debian etch several weeks ago (the XFCE CD), the installer believed it could see hda and thus / became hda1. When booting debian for the first time it saw it as hde - GRR I thought, so I plodded along and altered the grub menu list and fstab - and it worked.

Yesterday I restarted the box (after quite a while) and the grub menu seems to have back to being hda1 - probably because a kernel update or reinstall re-making the menu.

I need to get my copy of debian to FORGET about hda1 - bah! Any ideas so this doesn't happen again?

p.s. This occurred on a Compaq ProLiant DL320

Cheers!
