If you need more than 16 paritions on your SATA drive, kpartx might work
or something similar, so an archive subject search can turn it up.
Which is exactly what I did in my third posting after having confirmed that kpartx does indeed work.
The million dollar question, is can the SUSE YaST installer use a >15 kpartx/dm partition on SATA as a / target?
The other important question is whether the openSUSE install system comes with kpartx?
If it can, there should be no need to avoid upgrading older systems to newer ones that only have SATA, which is what those of us using many partitions have been needing to do. #2, if #1 is yes, is can the YaST installer do it all by itself?
It might be a good suggestion for 11.0. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
