So here we sit. Guys like Carlos and I with big drives several OS's and no space to use those big drives in a proper, useful and safe manner. I have 125 GB of free space and two partitions to put 11.0 on. I really don't think anyone cares and they do whatever they want without considering the consequences. It really ticked me off when all of my drives were renumbered.
Please Joe, If you come across a solution please let this list know.
The solution/workaround for accessing all your existing partitions as /dev/hdxx in Factory/11.0 is the same as is was in 10.3, as stated in the 10.3 release notes: hwprobe=-modules.pata given as an installation parameter. Note that current development version of Mandriva also includes a functionally equivalent option, while Fedora beginning at v7 has provided no option at all, building all their kernels with no legacy IDE HD drivers, same as Ubuntu starting with v7.10. -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
