Subject: naming of md devices

I currently use kernel autodetection of my raid devices.  I'm finding
that if I use a stock Debian kernel versus a self-compiled kernel
(2.6.15.6), the arrays md0 and md1 are switched, which creates a
problem mounting my root filesystem.

Is there a way to make the names consistent?

I'm happy to get rid of kernel autodetection and instead use
mdadm.conf.  Is this just a matter of changing the partition types?
Or a kernel boot parameter?  Will the Debian kernel/initramfs fall
back to using mdadm to build the arrays?

Thanks for any help,

Dan
