This was a "clean" install (new notebook). Beta 4 and (and now Beta 5) have been updates using zypper from Factory. It seems I still have not explained the problem sufficiently, so I shall try again. No changes in /boot/grub/menu.lst or fstab (both are part of the attached Zip file) are required to make the system boot. The files do already contain the disk spec you suggested in your last comment. What is needed is to switch the IDE mode in the BIOS from "Enhanced" to "Compatible". Without any other changes to system files the system is bootable to Linux then (but not to Windows, which does BSOD in "Compatible" mode and insists on "Enhanced" mode). The attached Zip file contains (picture) screen shots of the BIOS screen. It also contains (a slightly blurry) screen shot showing what happens during the boot. The system actually starts to boot successfully and configures e.g. USB devices, but is unsucessfull to mount the disk. Also included is the requested output from hdparm (in "Compatible" mode obviously). I should be able to react quicker over the weekend, since my wife and I are not at work ;-) Greetings, Martin -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
