Call for testing:
We're using the libata stack now also for IDE controllers. Please do test that an update works and all files are changed automatically (libata uses /dev/sda for the first harddisk instead of /dev/hda). Disks with more than 15 partitions are not handled right now, we're still evaluating whether there is a good solution. to use the old scheme, boot with "hwprobe=-modules.pata". See below for Bug 250241 as well.
My two disks are IDE PATA with 20 and 16 partitions respectively (and a third borderline with 13). Two questions: 1) Will the install detect this automatically and configure appropriately? 2) Is there any danger of this hosing the rest of the partitions? I have three test partitions, but I'm not prepared to endanger the main system in the "production" partition in order to test it... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

You might be able to use the first 15 - but YaST might also abort and tell you that you have too many partitions. I would wait until we have implemented something to handle this, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ 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

Ok, I'll wait. I can wait two years at most, you know ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

This should be done for 10.3 in some way... Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ 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
