If you noticed, I referenced hda5 and hdb6.
(blush) sorry! I was in a hurry to leave and overlooked that "little" detail.
The 2 installs are on partitions on separate hard disks, both of which are practically new WD 80Gb disks. I tend to lay this on something software-related, or kernel-related, because they are so new. Until I installed SuSE 10 fresh on hdb6, the only thing in regular use on that drive was a 1.6 Gb swap partition.
I haven't looked over the other responses, yet, but I seem to recall someone else having an issue with 10.0 defaulting to UDMA100 but only having cables capable of supporting UDMA66 or 33. He got better/correct IDE cables and his problems went away. Of course, I don't know if your problem is at all the same, but this is something worth investigating, I'd think. regards, - Carl
