My three ATA/IDE harddisks are controlled by a Highpoint Rocket 133 PCI card - and so far the hpt66-driver seems to have worked.
I tried to update or install OpenSuSE 11.0 - but that keeps telling me that I do not have any harddisks. So neither installation nor update are possible, although 10.2 continues to work.
You should be able to get it to work by using the legacy drivers/ide driver for your card.
Read the OpenSUSE 11.0 release notes for how to do this. (You get a chance to do that during the install.)
For the new driver subsystem (libata), I believe your card is still experimental. If you can assist in debugging it, you could still open a bugzilla with SuSE and see if they want to use you as a test case. ---end quoted text---
Hi Greg, thank you for that hint. I could not find the regarding OpenSUSE 11.0 release notes, though - are they somewhere on the net, as well? (could not google the regarding ones). Hmmmmmm.... do you know how the legacy ide-drivers are named and where I find them? I guess this is the right track - I am not sure about the details yet. Thanks anyway! Kind regards Christian PS: I found http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/387430-hard-disks-not-found-is..., but I am completely unsusre if that relates to MY problem, and if so how to make use of it. -- Dr. med.
