Two are SATA, one is Firewire. They used to be detected consistently with the two SATA drives first and second and the firewire drive third.

The only thing I can think of recently is the CPU upgrade, but that was a couple months ago. About six weeks ago I updated the kernel from 2.6.37 to 3.6.39, but the drive order randomness didn't start until the past week or two (I only reboot once or twice a month, so it's hard to pin down the date of the change). > Have you changed anything on the physical side (jumpers, cables, > etc)?
