Hi all, I am using kernel 2.6.19 with the new pata and sata drivers. First of all, the drivers work great, no crashes nothing.
There is one downside i found by using these drivers, and i am not sure how i can fix this. The drivers load correctly but my drives seem to be in a different order all the time, which is not very convinient when your run md devices. I have a pata_via driver, which is built-in to the kernel since it serves my primary and secundary ATA controller. I have a pata_pdc2027x driver, serving the 3rd and 4th ATA controller on the motherboard. (as module) I have a pata_sil680 driver serving 2 PCI add-in cards (as module) I have a sata_sil driver for the onboard sata controller. (as module) What seems to happen is that either the modules are auto-loaded and that the pata_sil680 driver changes the order of the two PCI cards every reboot or that udev gets different events from different controllers as first after every reboot and therefor creates the device nodes different. So, my question is: how do I force a fixed order for a module handling two PCI cards, or how do I tell udev to always use the same mapping for the device nodes in /dev?
