[OT] Hard disk device changes with kernel 2.6
I'm Sorry for the off-topic, because I use SuSE 9.0, 32 bits Athlon. The problem is with a mobo Asus A7V600 and the VIA VT8237 chipset controller. I have any SATA hard disk, and I have disabled in the bios the via sata controller. When i boot with kernel 2.4, the 2 ide hard disks are /dev/hda and /dev/hdb, but when i boot with kernel 2.6 (Kraxel 2.6.2), they appear as /dev/hde and /dev/hdf, and can't load the system completly, because the device change. ¿I can resolving this problem booting with the patch CD? ¿Or it works only for 64 bits? ¿Or how can make a boot CD with kernel 2.6- 32 bits? Thanks, Juan

No, that one works only with 64-bit.
¿Or how can make a boot CD with kernel 2.6- 32 bits?
We'll have to find a way to fix this... Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SuSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
I ran into the same problem with my AMD64 setup when I upgradeded to kernel 2.6.2 - the SATA drives where listed as hda and hdb, and ide drives as hde and hdf. I fixed it by adding this kernel boot option in /boot/grub/menu.list for the 2.6.2 kernel: ide=reverse Now the ide drives are hda and hdb again. Christian
