hm, this meant only that the reason is not something in AIX but in your machine. "wrong" was probably a stretch. For instance, hdisk devices (which are similar insofar as several equivalent ones are usually there) aren't changing every reboot either.

Maybe there is some script which deletes and reconfigures the devices upon (re)-boot time for some unknown reason?
