Mikkel, My brand new machine has SATA drives. The DVD+RW is the first or
sda. The harddrive is sdb. Right, we're good so far? Well, somehow
someone has decided that my DVD is now /dev/hda and everything kinda
goes to Hell, having to kick the apps, like xine, in the slats to get it
to do /dev/sda and then does everything work as initially installed.
Totem and mplayer just go tits up.
Your DVD should not show up as a SCSI hard drive. If it shows up as a
SCSI device, it should show up as a SCSI CD. (/dev/scd0) The SATA drive
should show up as /dev/sda.
First issue: WTF! If yum installed something that's jacking my drive
device setup, someone please find out who and stuff them in a locker.
It's all worked just dandy until the last month or so.
Second issue: It would be better to redefine my hardware setup when the
G D SYSTEM IS FRESHLY INSTALLED! Not after. <pants heavily> F with my
setup when I install FC6. That would be appropriate. Not while it's a
running machine.
Third issue: I didn't dink with my hardware, who or what did? I think
it's aggressive, not properly assertive, to just go and do a thing
because you can. Some compromise, like telling me and others about it,
would have been better.
How do I fix this? I want it back like it was. It worked, and I kinda
like it that way for some reason that escapes me for the heat of the
moment, when I tried to just watch a Flash Gordon DvD while working on
my website. It was the last straw to an already bad enough day. I
apologize for venting. No I don't, I take that back. I'm venting. Ric

How does boot get on /dev/sda1??? When it is a DvD device with no
partition? /dev/sdb is my harddrive. It has partitions. Is there some
sort of relocation going on with VolGroup? I really miss the pre-udev
days.
/boot is not on the DVD. The DVD is being seen as an IDE device. It is
the master device on the first PIDE interface. Are you sure your SATA
drive was not /dev/sda during the install? (Are you confusing /dev/hda
and /dev/sda?
