How to add hard drives in debian gnu/linux

[Missing Ghost]

Hi, here is my problem:
I have a computer that runs debian gnu/linux. The main hard drive is a 6 drive scsi hardware raid array of like 150GB. I would like to add a software RAID0 built from two sata drives that I own and mount it somewhere. But when I plug them in somehow it wants to name them sda and sdb and pushes my main hardware array to sdc. That seems to make my system unbootable. How can I tell him to order the drive in the correct way to leave my computer bootable. I would like the sata drives to be sdb and sdc.

fixed it, nevermind. It simply needed some bootloader reconfiguration.

What did you do? Remap them in grub?

Grub won't affect how Linux sees them, I'm curious as to what he did as well.

Linux did see them -- his issue was that his bootable array was renamed when his distro added the drives (it shouldn't have, imo), thus messing up which drive he's booting from. A quick grub menu.lst edit can fix that.

No it can't, or at least it shouldn't. The drives get discovered in the order the drivers are loaded and in no way affected by the order presented in the BIOS.
