I am looking for a good tutorial on setting up 'udev'.

I am running Debian testing 2.6.15-1-686-smp and have added two new Sata drives
and Debian no long uses the correct drive for the root file system. I need help understanding
how 'udev' controls the devices that are setup at boot time.

What is the interraction between udev and root device? Debian doesn't still use partition names do they? I think you might at least do a quick check to see if you simply have it set up wrong, it should use filesystem labels or UUID just so you don't have problems of this type.

You can also check that the ide driver always gets loaded first, that will make the order constant. You might be able to just change the order on modprobe.conf, but might have to rebuild the initrd or intramfs or whatever debian uses these days.

Sorry I can't be precise, I have used debian or slackware in a while...
