Some subsystems (most multimedia) only assign device numbers by load order of the driver modules. Among these are alsa, v4l and dvb drivers. For alsa there already is the index parameter, but the others have no special things controlling this. The reason lies in the start order we have at the moment: 1. udevd gets started 2. udevtrigger triggers coldplug events and modules get loaded (if not blocked by blacklist) 3. checkroot init script runs 4. modules init script runs (loads modules listed in /etc/modules.autoload.d/) 5. checkfs init script runs 6. localmount init script runs Now you can control order by adding modules to /etc/modules.autoload.d/ and second adding them to blacklist to prevent random order applied before. One possible (easier) solution could be, that udev implictly blacklists entries from /etc/modules.autoload.d/ (additionally to normal blacklist). That means modules init-script behaved almost like being started before udev's coldplugging.
