The install Log's from YaST

I have a different drive order after installation ?

Problem:

I install a new 10.3 on same computers with existing partition's, after reboot a have same Erroros the Kernel can' find the swap Partititon ?

One of my systems:

/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc,

the swap partition is (10.2 installation) on the /dev/sdb1 YaST2 find on installing time the swap partition on /dev/sdc1 ?
Yast2 wrote this to the grub manager and in /etc/fstab.

YaST2 change the drive /dev/sdb -> /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc -> /dev/sdb

After first reboot I have tho old order /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc ?

The result are Errors on boot time and no swap partition in the running system.

Yes, this can happen. The order can depend on whether you boot from
CD or HD.

Simply use persistent device names.
