[15:47] <CarlFK> wily 4.2.0-25-generic finds my sata drive first (sda) and the sd card reader 2nd (sdb)
[15:47] <CarlFK> the installer finds the sd card reader first
[15:47] <CarlFK> Feb 14 14:47:34 kernel: [    2.660462] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk
[15:48] <CarlFK> ah, the net installer if that matters.
[15:48] <CarlFK> It didn't do this 3 weeks ago
[16:04] <infinity> Device nodes aren't guaranteed to be stable, which is why we mount by UUID...
[16:08] <CarlFK> infinity: this is the installer, preseed d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
[16:10] <infinity> And the card reader needs to have an SD card in it?
[16:10] <CarlFK> no card in it
[16:10] <infinity> Huh.  Mine doesn't even show up unless it has a card in.
[16:11] <CarlFK> yeah - I expected to find a card in it.
[16:11] <infinity> Anyhow, this complaint's going to be a kernel complaint, not an installer complaint.
[16:11] <CarlFK> had to find a card and put in the slot just to make sure there wasn't some other reader plugged in where I wasn't looking
[16:11] <CarlFK> fair
[16:18] <CarlFK> hmm, installer uses 4.2.0-16
[16:19] <CarlFK> lets try Xenial
[16:38] <CarlFK> same.
[16:39] <CarlFK> well, xenial installer uses 4.4.0-4, which also finds the card reader first
