[opensuse] 10.3 question
I have an old P3 box, 256M RAM, CD-R/W, DVD-R and 2 IDE drives, hda is 6GB and hdb is 4GB. Here's the problem: If I boot to knoppix 5.1 live, the system sees both hda and hdb. I can use qtparted on both and change the partition tables, format, etc. I can mount both drives and access both. When I try to install opensuse 10.3, it does not see the 6GB drive at IDE 0, 1 (normally hda). It sees the 4GB drive and says it is hda, presumably because that is the only drive recognized. So, why is 10.3 being difficult? Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try to boot using a live CD with openSuSE 11.0 in order to see if it's able to detect your hardware. -- Bogdan Cristea software engineer Sytron Technologies Overseas www.sytron.ro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
