But yes, try rearranging the arrangement of SCSI adapter cards within PCI slots (if possible, more likely you've got some mainboard interfaces in this mess).

One of the controllers is a RAID card that has a direct interface with the on-board SCSI channels, so it has to be in a particular slot. Not a problem though, everything except swap is now set to update automatically if I reconfigure.

The root=xxx kernel parameter in grub.conf (or lilo.conf) can be anything, including a volume device path, or a LABEL=/ designation.

That's the bit I didn't know - very useful!

It's all working nicely now, thanks for your help.
