18 How are you configuring the kernel modules to operate your disk
19 controllers? This situation is usually typical of having more than one
20 set of disks from which the system can boot.
21
22 I always statically link the driver that operates the controller that
23 connects the root device and modprobe the drivers that operate the
24 other disk controllers. This ensures that the controller for my
25 /dev/sda device is probed first and its drives get "a", "b" and "c" in
26 /dev/sd?, and those letters are assigned in device address order on
27 the controller.
