--- Comment #4 from Rae Stiening
OK, explanation why this happen: some BIOS has restriction to use for boot just first eight disks. This error mean, that BIOS is limited to recognize 8 discs. So what you need do, is to fill up in device.map section in bootloader 8 discs which see your BIOS. ( of course you can change order in BIOS to provide enough information. If your /dev/sdi disc is really first in BIOS (it can happen as some BIOS doesn't correct provide required information), then just correct BIOS order in device map settings. What message you find useful in this case?
I would like to be able to install SuSE without having to disconnect disks during the install procedure. The order in which Linux gives disks device names is dependent on the order in which driver modules are loaded. The problem occurs because the SuSE installer loads the module for the system disk after it has loaded driver modules for the hardware used for the eight other disks. If SuSE is installed with the eight other disks disconnected the system boots with the eight other disks reconnected because the installed SuSE loads the system disk driver first. -- 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.
