I said that a bug report would be sent regarding the new F7 moving
partition designators. This is it:

I hope the bug killers are cleverer than me,
as I don't understand your bug:
--------------------------------
Description of problem:Partition designators change with changes in
hard drive use. I have 2 hard drives. When hd1 is booted the Linux
is /dev/sda. When hd2 is selected the Linux is /dev/sda.
--------------------------------
1. What do you mean by "hd1 is booted", "hd2 is selected"?
How exactly do you select hd2?
2. What do you mean by "the Linux"?
As you say I am a lot more involved than you are. You don't even
know it happens I guess.
Nobody knows how it happens because you didn't fill in the steps to
reproduce. Does it take a bios setting change to make this happen,
or will it happen if you keep all your /boot partitions on the same
primary drive with grub in the mbr (setting the kernel root to another
drive), or are you chainloading a 2nd grub install on the other drive?
I'd expect the first method to keep things consistent other than when
the device name conventions change among kernel versions.
I put the root and setup on the same thing, (hd5,3) which is disk 2.
Disk 1 has root at (hd0,4) and setup at (hd0) and in the grub.conf it
has a chainloader to disk 2.
This all works fine. But when disk 1 is booted it is at /dev/sdax.
When disk 2 is booted IT is /dev/sdax.
That is the problem.
