I'm newbie of SuSE, Could anybody please advise me why my IDE harddisk is being detected by OpenSuSE 10.3 (KDE) as /dev/sda but not /dev/hda Isn't it /dev/sda is referring to SCSI harddisk ?
From the release notes of opensuse 10.3
<<<<<< libata for IDE Devices libata uses /dev/sda for the first harddisk instead of /dev/hda. Disks with more than 15 partitions are not handled automatically right now. You can disable libata support by booting with the following kernel parameter: hwprobe=-modules.pata Then you see all the partitions > 15 again and can access them for installation.
