Hi Husse,
I have the same exact problem; I tried 4 or 5 times to install Cassandra on the second hard disk of my PC, and every time it breaks down with the UUID error message, usually after a few days of use, with or without upgrading the kernel.
If I reformat the hard disk and recreate the partions, will I be able to solve the problem?
By the way, my main OS is Bianca on my first hard disk and it works flawlessly.
Update to 2.6.20-16 kernel breaks SATA in Feisty/Cassandra!

Yes this is a known problem. One finds on the Web much of anybody complaining about that, each update of the kernel 2.6.20 changing the disk identification.Lolo Uila wrote:/dev/scd0 is now /dev/hda (primary master drive)
/dev/scd1 is now /dev/hdc (secondary master drive)
See for example http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/conte ... /122/1/19/Stupid no? As the author says: "the Linux kernel shoud have had a new tagline: «How Do You Want Your Devices To Be Called Today?»"As a matter of fact, I have experienced some moody behaviors with Ubuntu Feisty (Beta):
* kernel 2.6.20-12: IDE (PATA) /dev/hda goes /dev/sda
* kernel 2.6.20-13: IDE (PATA) is seen again as /dev/hda
* kernel 2.6.20-14: IDE (PATA) /dev/hda goes again /dev/sda
Bad thing by the kernel team.

wow... I don't have that problem either.linuxviolin wrote:Yes this is a known problem. One finds on the Web much of anybody complaining about that, each update of the kernel 2.6.20 changing the disk identification.Lolo Uila wrote:/dev/scd0 is now /dev/hda (primary master drive)

My devices have always been /dev/sdX in Gentoo, and Mint using the Intel ICH chipsets. Dunno why it keeps changing for you guys. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I have missed this thread lately - a reformat may or may not solve the problem - that is really ugly
As you see some have and some don't have this problem. I think it has to do with exactly what hard- and software you are using. All combinations don't use the same parts of the code (don't ask me to expand on this
I know what I'm talking about, but to explain in simple terms....)

I can confirm that even a reformatting does not solve the problem but now I know the cause is a Fiesty-related bug, because on the same root and home partitions where Cassandra and Ubuntu 7.04 break down I installed the old Dapper and it works perfectly.
I guess I'll keep using Bianca until the next release of Linux Mint based on Gutsy Gibbon.

As I said in my last post I believe it's about the kernel 2.6.20-*
2.6.19 had already some problems:
For that see http://lwn.net/Articles/193603/
2.6.19 had already some problems:
(http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/conte ... /122/1/19/)Coming after a 2.6.19 kernel that was breaking all distros older than ten months
For that see http://lwn.net/Articles/193603/

Wow. I'm surprised this is still happening. Only that first infamous kernel update caused problems for me. All later updates have been fine. Odd?
Have you edited your fstab file? There was a 2nd issue with the kernel updates switching the /dev/ ID back and forth between hd & sd, but this only affected people that had edited their fstab and removed UUID.
