hda / hde - Debian can't seem to make its mind up



Hi,

I have mentioned this before but in a slightly different context and I can't remember what was said.

I have a Compaq ProLian DL320 server and Debian seems to have a little problem
I have installed Debian twice on this server... heres the details...

1st Install (Etch r2)
> When installing it thought the disk was hda
> When booting first time it became hde and I had to change fstab/grub

2nd Install (Etch r0)
> When installing it thought it was hde
> When booting it was hde! - I thought, yey! Etch r0 has fixed it!

However sometimes when I boot up, it can occasionally think it is hda - and I have to restart for it to realise (I can't be doing altering the grub/fstab every time, there needs to be consistency)

Are there any known issues with Debian or this particular model? (latest bios is installed) - or perhaps any solutions or workarounds people know of?
