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?
Yes, use LABEL instead of the name of the device. You can assign a
label to a partition with the e2label command (which is part of the
e2fsprogs package) and then subsequently use that label to boot rather
than the device name. That should solve your problem. This is of
course if you are using a ext3 file system. You didn't specify.
Another alternative, is to do with the newer versions of the kernel do
and use UUID, but I don't know which kernel or which udev you are using,
nor do I really know enough about that to explain how.
