Is this changing the disk drives a feature or is it a bug? If not a feature I will write a bug soon. I understand the /dev/hda stays the first hard drive. -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DIAlthough I haven't upgraded to F7 yet I understand from a previous posting that F7 now uses a different device driver (?) for hard drives so that IDE/SATA drives are /dev/sd? and USB/Firewire is something else now (I forget off hand). You don't see /dev/hd? in F7 from what I understood. See http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/en_US/sn-Kernel.html for more info on that. Jacques B.
All the page you reference does is tell us that /dev/sdx will be used. -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org.
