----- Original Message ----- now then i insert the 9.1 dvd, and select update installed system, yast2 gives me some mount errors, and complains that /etc/fstab displays /dev/hda although the drive is actually /dev/hde it says.
yast2 points me to a support database article concerning SATA stuff, but that doesnt apply to this case i think, since i dont use sata drives/stuff, or am i mistaken? the ide controller on this board is made by via, and comes with the via chipset:
But you have Sata controllers in your systems I assume...

yast2 points me to http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/01/sata.html
so how can i mount my old 9.0 installation and make 9.1 upgrading it? would editing the installed 9.0 fstab before booting the 9.1 dvd help in any way? any workarounds?
Two ways: via rescue system - boot rescue system - mount root partition - change fstab - umount - reboot or: - boot 9.0 - change fstab - reboot and then start again Just change everywhere /dev/hda to /dev/hdg or whatever...
