Problem: 2.4.20, 2.5.66 have different IDE channel order

2.5 nonmodular seems to be doing it in BIOS order -- the HPT370 BIOS
initializes before the Promise (and won't let it boot but I can deal with that.) I'll probably replace it with a PDC20262 before lookingIm a bit puzzled by this because it does look like a bug. Our pci scan code hasnt changed that materially. I assume the promise and hpt are both plug in cards >
Tried PDC20268 + 20262 and the IDE channel order is still rearranged
in 2.5 even though the BIOSen now initialize in bus order (it can boot from hd again.)
Why it goes from (1,2,3) in 2.4 to (1,3,2) in 2.5 is still a mystery.
I could see it reversing, but not this.
Tried 2.5.66-ac1 with no APIC support and IDE was still backwards.
It also spewed continuous keyboard errors until I hit reset:
atkbd.c: Unknown key (set 0, scancode 0xfc, on isa0060/serio1) pressed.
