What I wanted was of course that if I had hda and hdc, it shouldnt try to detect hdb. I didnt want hdc to change into hdb just because there was no physical hdb. (this is the way SCSI works right now, and it's damn annoying)
Is this suppåosed to be fixed in v2.1, that the SCSI subsystem will use devicenames that represents the SCSI ID number instead of the number of drives that are detected previously?
