[opensuse-factory] Changing /dev/hda to /dev/sda
- From: Sid Boyce <sboyce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

New installs recognise IDE disks as /dev/sd, no problem.
On this box 10.1 --> 10.2 --> 10.3Alpha3plus via factory updates, my disks come up as /dev/hd.
Changed /etc/fstab from /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 to /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, changed menu.lst likewise, but on reboot it can't see /dev/sda1, eventually dropping into a shell prompt.
As of old rdev used to be able to change the root and swap devices to whatever you wanted for a kernel. It now tells me that /dev/sda1 doesn't exist.
The pata_nv and libata modules are loaded.
Problem in initrd or grub????
Regards
Sid.
