Title: Problem: FC3 anaconda load kernel sata modules in wrong order

Hi,

I encounter a problem to install FC3 on one of our machine, the machine has two SATA hard drives connected directly to motherboard which will use the ata_piix kernel module, and two other SATA hard drives connected through a Promise SATA card which is driven by sata_promise kernel module.

The problem is: FC3 anaconda loads sata_promise module before ata_piix module by default, and this lead to the fact that sda and sdb are assigned to two hard drives connected on Promise card, then after machine successfully installed, a reboot it fails and reports “no operation system found” error. Because machines will boot from hard drives connected directly to motherboard (set in BIOS), it can not boot from drives connected to a Promise SATA PCI card.

Anyone know if it is possible to specify the kernel module loading sequence for anaconda during initial installation stage?

Thanks.
