[Bug 6367] Re: [Bug 6367] Re: Hard disk order changes when using docking station

[Gisli Ottarsson]

I am the reporter of bug 40993, whereing the order of two pairs of
fixed disks attached pairwise to two separate internal IDE controllers
changes between installation and first boot.  First boot consequently
fails.  This occurs with 6.06 beta, but not with previous versions of
Ubuntu.  My only solution to the unpredictable order in disk numbering
has been to attach all disks to the same controller which is an
unhappy situation for the performance of my RAID.

Is it possible that bug 40993 and this bug are related and if so, how
does that affect the discussion here.

Regards

  Gisli
