I'm running Debian squeeze and had the same problem. The blacklisting and specifing the order in /etc/modules did not work for me.

per Tweeks suggestion I put:

alias scsi_hostadapter0 ahci
alias scsi_hostadapter1 sata_sil24

at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.conf and that did the trick for me.

(ahci the driver my system is using for the onboard sata drives)

Thanks Tweeks!

I have EXACTLY the same problem, with these two specific modules in Debian lenny. I have tried adding the two alias lines Tweeks suggested to /etc/modprobe.d/local and run dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-xxx (xxx is my kernel version), but still the sil24 load first.

Tweeks is this how you meant the aliases to be used?

Mounting my drive labels is an evil, naughty practice.

Instead of jumping through all the blacklist hoops, why don't you simply use the the scsi_hostadapter alias to control the order:

alias scsi_hostadapter0 sata_nv
alias scsi_hostadapter1 sata_sil24

Done...?

Wouldn't UUIDs and labels make drive detection ordering a non issue?
