The question is: Is this a real bug or a feature? I always thought that IDE disks should be on hda devices.
Traditional ATA drivers have been replaced by libata drivers in latest kernels. Libata treats all devices it handles as SCSI, which means the device rules limiting partition count to less than 16 applies. It remains possible for those needing to continue using traditional drivers (those with critical partitions above #15) or wishing to continue to use traditional drivers to install using the boot option 'brokenmodules=ata_piix', which will leave ATA devices to be recognized as /dev/hdxx.
Hi - I will try the above for testing and switch to the default, when I update my 10.2. Thanks to all gl -- G. Lichtenberg ==============>mailto:lichten@arcor.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
