Re: Disk Drive Order Changes - Again

Have you tried using UUID? I have similar problem sometime ago, and UUID solved mine.
Every file system can have an UUID, normally it's generated when your filesystem created. Try blkid to view your filesystem's UUID. I've tried using UUID in my grub and it runs well. You can use UUID in your fstab too. 

This is a part of my grub's menu.lst and my fstab:

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.22-skas3-v9-pre9
root            (hd0,4)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-skas3-v9-pre9 root=UUID=0d8d500b-fb20-4fbc-9bd4-5ad75f331f05 ro vga=791
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-skas3-v9-pre9


UUID=0d8d500b-fb20-4fbc-9bd4-5ad75f331f05
