Hello,
first of all I want to express my thanks to Jeff for the excellent software package he put together.
I am a linux newbie and as expected I am running into problems.
CONFIGURATION
Dockstar with rescue system, uBoot with LED support, 2 Samsung Story Station HDDs, 1 transcend 4GB Stick for the Debian.
U-Boot 2010.06-00695-gbd23130-dirty (Aug 30 2010 - 23:04:56)
Marvell-Dockstar/Pogoplug by Jeff Doozan
PROBLEM
Booting with HDDs caused the devices to be renamed. sda becomes sdc which in turn causes my fstab to be badly wrong.
I have a JTAG attached to get a better idea on what is going on.
Below log files show the problem. HDDs where off in the stick only scenarion. USB ports were not changed.

IDEAS
- I could tune the fstab to use the UUID which then will cause problems if my stick goes out of whack
- maybe this is caused by the stick being a little slower than the
- I tried moving the stick to a different USB port but the result was the same. it always became sdc.
I rely on you folks for much better suggestions than I have.
