Comment 84 for bug 8497

Running Gigabyte GA-81EXP with 2 channels of onboard IDE and channels of Promise IDE has this same problem. Up until last night I was running 7.10 and the controllers booted up randomly. If they came up backwards I could just reboot a couple of times until everything mounted correctly. Upgraded to 8.04 last night and now it's permanently backwards. The first drive on the system comes up as /dev/hdc, but only because I have two drives on the Promise controller. The moment I add another drive the boot disk will become /dev/hdd, and so on. This is a major screwup.
