Call for Testing ================
* libata for IDE devices
We're using the libata stack now also for IDE controllers. Please do test that an update works and all files are changed automatically (libata uses /dev/sda for the first harddisk instead of /dev/hda). Disks with more than 15 partitions are not handled right now, we're still evaluating whether there is a good solution. to use the old scheme, boot with "hwprobe=-modules.pata".
Question. With "hwprobe=-modules.pata", are more than 15 partitions supported?
If yes, then, Q #2:
Yes.
When there are more than 15 partitions, will this situation be detected and then automatically activate "hwprobe=-modules.pata", or do we have to add that manually when booting the install dvd?
At least till a better, definitive solution is found.
We're working on a better solution for this (which does not involved using the old ata stack - hwprobe=-modules.pata uses the old stack - but until this is in place, this is the manual workaround. So, for now, please add it manually, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
