Two are SATA, one is Firewire. They used to be detected consistently
with the two SATA drives first and second and the firewire drive
third. Within the past few weeks, that changed, and sometimes the
Firewire drive shows up second

The only thing I can think of recently is the CPU upgrade, but that
was a couple months ago. About six weeks ago I updated the kernel
from 2.6.37 to 3.6.39, but the drive order randomness didn't start
until the past week or two (I only reboot once or twice a month, so
it's hard to pin down the date of the change).

Not that I know of.
