Well, if it were not so complicated, there would be no need to post to this group ;)... Anyway, here is what I suspect the root problem is: I have the following disks: 1. sata disk 2. 3ware raid array #1 3. 3ware array #2 fdisk and yast partitioner lists drives as: 1. sata disk ==> sda 2. 3ware raid array #1 ==> sdb 3. 3ware array #2 ==> sdc however, when I look in boot/grub, I see the following (in device.map): 1. sata disk ==> sdc 2. 3ware raid array #1 ==> sda 3. 3ware array #2 ==> sdb Basically, part of 11.0 sees disks in a different order than the other part. During installation, I *was* very careful to select the correct disk/partition but that did not eventually work because of the above problem. This is again an issue with enumerating sata/ide disks first and then scsi disks, versus the other way around. There seems to be an internal inconsistency withing 11.0! I don't know if this qualifies as a bug, but it sure makes updates and other maintenance a nightmare! Comments anyone?
