Well, thought about that, but that hardware is working fine for over one year with daily dist-upgrades and even if I boot with debian installer, all disks are recognized and working. The real problem is, that the order of the drives changes on every boot, or let me say - it's indetermined, how the order of drives will be after next boot. Even in rescue mode things are quite strange. When I i.e. have to select /dev/sda1 as root device, after opening a shell for that root partition, a cat /proc/partitions shows the partition as sda1 but a df states, it is /dev/sdd1 So stuff around naming of devices and partitions is quite wired. > As to your main problem, ... I admit, my main problem is mostly ideologic, but isn't it a rule of debian stable, that no update will break a running system? The last update did break my system. So what's wrong with my point of view (beside the fact that I'm too emotional)? kind regards Gero -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
