Error from driveorder command

Hello List,
   I've recently been seeing a problem that I cannot figure out.  We  
have an appliance that runs Fedora 10, and we install this appliance  
via Anaconda 1.4.1.63.  During an install, we will occasionally see  
the following error: "Specified nonexistent disk sdd in driveorder  
command".  The user is then left with no option but to reboot and try  
again.  It usually succeeds after the reboot, but lately, I've seen it  
fail 5 or more times in a row.

   So, the error is straightforward, but I'm not sure why I'm seeing  
it.  If I look at the generated driveorder directive in the bootloader  
command, I see that it is set to the following: "bootloader -- 
location=mbr --driveorder=sdd,sda,sdb,sdc,sde".  An "fdisk -l"  
confirms the existence of all 5 drives, as does /proc/partitions.  I'm  
at a loss here.  Has anyone run across this?  I don't see why it  
should fail, but is doing it fairly frequently.

Thank you,
   Jason Maestri
