Hi folks :-)

I've asus P5B-E motherboard with debian stable.

First 6disks (integrated controller: sata1-sata6) for raid (not implemented
yet) and boot disk (integrated sata7).

The problem is: sometimes debian probe boot disk (sata7) on sda and the boot
process is ok (lvm encrypt ask to me the password) , but often debian probe
boot disk on sde and the startup stop :-////

In the bios of mb I see an option like this: "allow bios discover device -
allow os discover device".

I tried both but I've the same.. enervating.. problem..

Can I will do?!

Thanks!
Pol

Since you have stuff encrypted, I'm assuming that you have /boot
unencrypted on a separate partition not part of LVM. Presumably grub
boots OK and you get the grub menu.

The problem then is the kernel command line.

Try adding a label to the /boot fs then use the root=LABEL= kernel
command line. Then the device name which it is assigned does not
matter.
