I've found a solution to my problem...using entries in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst that refer to the disk "by-id", such as :
# /dev/sda1 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1ATA_Maxtor_7V300F0_V601KP2G-part1 / reiserfs nouser,defaults,noatime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 1
If people aflicted by this bug are able to use by-id or any of the other links under /dev/disk/, the problem may be controlled.
