Hello,
Christ Almighty... where have you been?
busy inventing PEBCAK issues :)
The kernel went to indeterminate drive ordering *years* ago. That's
why fstab now uses UUID or LABEL to associate partitions with mount
points.
Hey, may be u missed some of my writings.
I wrote, that I came to debian at woody time and from then on, I'm used to
*daily* (!) dist-upgrages
... so the last upgrade was from debian 6.0 to 6.1
And yes of cause - I use LABEL and UUID in fstab for years ;)
If you read my writing carefully, you'll notice that I wrote, that grub has
problems with changing drive order.
The point is, in grub.cfg each partition is mentioned by (hd?, msdos?) and hd?
never matches. Last weeks I managed grub update errors by manually editing
grub.cfg (I know it should not be done, but it was the only way for me to get
the system running).
