    I am running RHEL3.0 update1 and I am having a problem with my disk
    ordering.

    I recently added a qlogic HBA and allocated some san disk, now when I
    boot the machine the hba comes up as /dev/sda and my local disks are
    pushed back to /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. I realize that when the machine
    boots it's scans for devices and it's finding the hba first, therefore
    labeling this disk /dev/sda, however I can't find where I can force this
    device to be discovered last.

    >From a support perspective I need to be able to force redhat to
    recognize my local disks as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and my san disk as
    /dev/sdc. I have tried this through modules.conf, however, I am not
    having much luck.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    Joe-
