I'm curious if this bug is the same as what I see on my Abit AN8-32X system. I have 6 SATA drives (4 on an Nvidia chip, and 2 on Sil 3132 chip), 2 IDE drives (each a master on its own channel), and 2 USB "drives", which are a SD and CF card reader.

In Dapper, Edgy, and Fiesty, I see the set of 2 Sil 3132 chip drives "floating" in the boot order. On one boot, they appear as sdd and sde. On the next boot, they appear as sdf and sdg. It appears that the USB "drives" are not consistent about when the kernel detects them, and so they either appear before or after the two Sil 3132 SATA drives.

When Edgy converted fstab to a UUID entry, I thought the misrepresentation of the drives would go away, but the problem manifested immediately after the Fiesty upgrade. Granted, I only had to reboot a few times between Edgy and Fiesty. (-:

Thoughts?
