[opensuse-factory] 10.3 RC1 doesn't see SATA drive in mixed IDE/SATA environment
I have two hard drives, one IDE and one SATA. My 10.2 installation has /, /boot, /usr mounted on the SATA drive, while /home is a LVM2 volume spanning both hard drives. When I tried installing 10.3 RC1, it only detected the IDE drive. In the Partitioner module, choosing expert - import settings from previous fstab failed to find an existing fstab. The boot up process appears to load both IDE and SATA drivers, so I presume there is a problem with the SATA (sata_sis) driver. Is this likely to be fixed by 10.3 GM or will I have to stay with 10.2? -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.5, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Please report it in bugzilla (for details see http://bugs.opensuse.org) - otherwise there's no chance at all. This is really late and I'm not sure that we can fix it in time. But report it so that we can check it. The report should include the YaST log files as explained at http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST as well as the output of hwinfo --all Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

There might be a workaround... When the installation starts (Linuxrc) and drivers loaded, see which modules/drivers are used for your SATA disk/controller. There should be list of drivers that could be used. Then, you can try to disable the first, (first and second, ...) module to force Linuxrc to skip it (them) and try the next one.
