Mount points change when raid controller installed
 
Under Mandrake 10 our normal point points are hda1, hda5, hda6, hda7, hdc1, hdc5 with hda6 containing the boot partition. We installed an IDE drive controller (with RAID -- although we don't intend to mirror) with a Silicon Image SiI 0680A. Although the computer recognizes the MBR, Mandrake now assigns the drives as hde1, hde5, hde6, hde7, hdg1, hdg5 and thus can't locate the boot partition. Devices attached to controller card now start with hda1.

Is there a way to modify this? Do other chipsets work without affecting the mount points?

Thanks

Boot up with the rescue disk, mount your system from the menu, chroot to /mnt, run "/bin/bash -l" to set up your normal paths. Then correct your /etc/fstab file and /etc/lilo.conf. Then execute /sbin/lilo to rewrite the mbr with the corrected information.

I neglected to mention that this is a dual boot machine; if I rewrite the MDR won't I lose the W2K option in Lilo?
