This is something for the elder population of you and requires some historical knowledge. I have the following setup: a 939 Athlon AMD 64 board with one HDD IDE 250GB set to master one HDD SATA 300 GB Seagate one HDD SATA WD 250 The chip-set is actually a 939DualVsta from Asrock (verrrry old with mixed AGP/PCI-e chipset) On the HDD IDE I did install Tumbleweed. During this installation I left all other disks detached. Now that works well, boots well, no problem. On the second HDD (SATA) I did install the new (and btw beautiful!) beta. With the IDE attached. This installs well. When I did install it, it offered to install the boot manager to /sdb1 (that is SATA). I agreed and thought: afterwards it will boot by IDE in sda1 so I would join the second entry in grub of tumbleweed. When booting it boots well in tumbleweed. The I did os-prober. First surprise: does not see anything. No other OS. Now, I tried to tell him boot from sda1 and as second choice I did put "boot from custom" and there I did set sdb1. Now tumbleweed said there was a problem installing the boot loader. It now blocks after the titel grub, after boot. So I went to the bios and told the PC boot SATA sdb1 as first device. This works well, in fact I am writing from the beta. When I go to the console and do su-, then os-prober..........it sees nothing, no second OS! Now the question for amateurs of archeology. It is possible to do a dual boot with two OS in THIS config? OR is it intrinsically impossible to boot a machine in dual boot with IDE and SATA on the same machine. I do already not understand why the prober does not see the other OS?? Thank you for any tip on how I could achieve this (it is that I feel it to be a waste to through away a working IDE disk only because technology has changed. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
