Hello List
- in case of interest :
my root partition is on SATA Hard Disk /dev/sda1 & home partition is on SATA Hard Disk /dev/sda2
...............
whereas until now, all booted normally, this week when i insert an old ATA Hard Disk for a weekly backup, it causes booting to be unable to mount home partition on SATA Hard Disk /dev/sda2
...................
- have had a look at BIOS which sees old ATA Hard Disk all right
What "mode" does the SATA interface use? It could be AHCI or IDE Compatibility - changing from one to the other is likely to cause boot problems, as can having an IDE device attached when in AHCI mode.
- maybe this prevention of booting system is a side-effect of old ATA disk's demise?
Or maybe the presence of the old HDD changes the device enumeration - does the BIOS enumerate IDE before or after SATA, for example. Dylan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
