We now use libata for IDE drives which is a SCSI based library.
Is there any hope of increasing the 16 partition limit some time in the future?
No - but we added a workaround for this. If you have more than 16 partitions, just give it a try!
Alternatively, will the ata support remain for ever, with maintenance?
I guess for 10.4, we will remove it.
I have disks with 20 partitions. I suspect I'm not the only one using more than 16 partitions.
So, please test whether it our workaround makes you happy ;-)
So, I tried Beta 3.
I downloaded the dvd, which took two whole days. I boot the dvd. It asks for my language (US), but not for the keyboard (ES), which is a nuisance. It searches the partitions, sees there are disks with more than 16 partitions, and pops a large warning, recommending to reboot the install with kernel option "hwprobe=-modules.pata".
Do'nt be misery, buy a new hard disk!
When I reach the point of installation (when it tries the network in order to add online repos), it pops a window requesting "insert opensuse 10.3 CD1", "continue/cancel".
I'm using DVD! Why does it ask for the CD1?
Anyway, continue doesn't work (it asks again for CD1), and cancel aborts the install. What now?
You tryied to load in the command line from the first install screen with "insmod=ide-generic"?
