After almost each update of my debian lenny kernel I have my IDE disk

it a known problem?
I'm aware of an issue with naming devices in Squeeze, but you say
Lenny. Are you sure you are using Lenny, i.e. stable, as opposed to
Squeeze, i.e. testing?

Thanks for the information. Now I know what's doing it and how to fix
it. But I will send some more information just in case it's a bug. I
use lenny and never touched the fstab of that machine manually. But I
run xen which loads it's own "xenified" kernel.
My /boot/grub/menu.lst (I run debian and ubuntu virtual machines on
their own real partitions)
I use the first row always (currently Xen 3.2-1-i386)

My current fstab (I never changed it manually)
==================================
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
#/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
To make the things work, after the last flip-flop of the names, I must
just update my menu.lst and just replace every instance of hdc1 with
hda1. And it will work probably up to the next time I update the
kernel.
I will try with UUIDs though, if they are supported in lenny.
