i4get Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 my leopard hd keeps changing identifier between disk0s2 / disk1s2 / disk2s2 I dual boot Vista 64 (diskXs1) and Leopard (diskXs2) on the first HD 4 SATA HDs and 1 SATA DVD burner AHCI enabled in the BIOS my mobo is an ASUS P5K-Deluxe wifi/ap and uses ICH9R I can't edit the com.apple.Boot.plist to and add the <string>rd=disk0s2</string> because the disk changes identifier. Also it makes using vmware fusion a pain. any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i4get Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 when looking for more information about this problem, I went to the disk utility I found that my sata drives 1 & 2 show Device Tree : /PCI0@0/SATA@1F,2/CHN0@0/PMP@0/@0:0 (myVista/Leopard HD which should be disk0) /PCI0@0/SATA@1F,2/CHN1@1/PMP@0/@0:0 while 3 & 4 show /PCI0@0/SATA@1F,2/PRT2@2/PMP@0/@0:0 /PCI0@0/SATA@1F,2/PRT3@3/PMP@0/@0:0 what's the difference between CHN and PRT ? could that be the cause?

i4get Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 this time when booting it's disk3s2 so it is totally random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i4get Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 come on! I can't be the only person this is happening to, I guess most people just don't care what their disk identifier is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisfromiowa Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Is this really from '08? I've been having the same problem recently. Did you ever find a solution? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
