Hi guys,

I have my driverdisk created and the files are on a USB pendrive. How do I make the USB pendrive /dev/sdb and not /dev/sda???

I am wanting the installation to take place on sda and the driver disk to be sdb?

Try adjusting the IRQ settings in the bios so the disk controller has a lower IRQ than the USB controller?

it has nothing to do with the IRQ #, and everything to do with the PCI Bus Enumeration Order.

and, linux's method of naming storage devices can be a real pain sometimes.
