Problem with 2.0.24 SCSI change

I am running 2.0.24 (with the no_atime patch) on a news server. I have
two SCSI adapters in it: an Adaptec 2940 and a DPT 3224. I have the OS
& swap on sda and the history file on sdb attached to the Adaptec and a
big RAID array for news spool attached to the DPT. When I boot up with
2.0.24, I get "Unable to open initial console" and everything stops. I
finally realized that the DPT was suddenly being detected first. I had
to change drivers/scsi/hosts.c to get the Adaptec back first. I have 2
questions:
1) Why was the DPT moved above the Adaptec in 2.0.24?
2) Is there not a better way to get the order of multiple host adapters?
