My 2d - stinks of software!
Is there something up with the disk drive numbers that the bios

If there are multiple controllers the kernel has to go through
a few hoops (backwards if necessary) to determine the order the
bios decided the disks should go in.
Maybe some diagnostics in that code might help.
