The general direction is that users don't need to care about what device node a device appears as. Filesystems are identified by unique device IDs or LABELs so what driver drives the device should make no difference from user's POV. This actually works quite well and actually helpful with hotplugging and all. All the standard tools including hdparm and smartmontools already work with /dev/sdX. * Yeap, you got cabling alright. * Something is very off. Your drive returned corrupt SMART data. Module loading order shouldn't matter. The only possibility I can think of is interaction with another device sharing some resource. it821x and geforce 6600 are sharing IRQ 193 which looks suspicious. Can you please try the followings? 1. Give 'irqpoll' kernel parameter and see whether things work. Please also give a shot at 'acpi=noirq'. 2. Booting with 'brokenmodules=it821x,pata_it821x' should make the installer ignore the controller and let the installer finish to load. After the installer is loaded, press 'ctrl-alt-f2', this should give you a command console. In the command console, you can mount a USB stick or existing partition to /mnt and record info there. Please report 'var/log/boot.msg', 'hwinfo --all', 'cat /proc/interrupts'. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
