Hi, I just read a posting on LKML about SATA disk detection order and bootloaders. There is a bootloader named "Gujin" - website is at http://gujin.org. Have a look, read a bit about it and ponder whether Grub is the best choice for a bootloader. Ubuntu is about ease of use, and from what I can see, Gujin is it. Let me know what you think. -- /Anders
