My firewire hard disk seems to have different names with different kernels. With 2.6.26.3, it's name is /dev/disk/by-id/ieee1394-0030e001e0006585:00043c:0000. With someting after 2.6.27-rc7, merged with Arjan's fastboot branch, the disk has the same name. With 2.6.27-rc7, it is called /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1WDC_WD10EACS-00D6B0_WD-WCAU41668315. One major config difference is that 2.6.26.3 has CONFIG_FIREWIRE and CONFIG_FIREWIRE_SBP2 set to "m", whereas the 2.6.27 kernels have set them to "y". But that doesn't explain the difference between both 2.6.27-rc kernels. Shouldn't these names be somewhat constant? Otherwise they would be totally useless. Regards, Tino
