I have an F7 system that has both a SATA drive and occasionally an IDE

connected, the system will make IDE=/dev/sda and SATA=/dev/sdb, and screw up my boot process.

Is there a kernel command parameter or other simple method to get
around this problem?


The kernel assigns SCSI device names in the order it finds them from searching the hardware. That's usually the boot device first. Check to see if you can change the boot order in your BIOS, that usually helps.
