Well, something happens.And I can't explain it. If I go into the rescue system and choose "boot installed system" for 11.2 it is shown as sda8. It boots 11.2 perfectly. Why it shows sda8 instead of sdc8 I have no idea.
this is the interesting part. Is your dvd reader sata or pata. I never could really know how mother boards managed the sata drives. I would like to have any hint on the subject. May be having a dvd inserted changed the drive order did you try booting *the hard drive* with the dvd inserted (but without using the dvd) Very
illogical. Remember now, I tried to boot normally as sda8 and got that stupid message about finding it. The partitioner, fdisk, and Parted Magic all show the disk layout correctly.
same in recovery system loaded from the dvd?
This is crazy. Why should replacing the MB have anything to do with booting?
all!! It's the mobo / BIOS that decides what drive is what at boot time (after that, it's Linux)
That is all HD stuff except for the bios. And that all seems to be correct. And why does the install/rescue system mis-identify tue disks in a seemingly random order?
I would like to see what do the grub console when typing kernel ( <TAB> (using tab completion, with and without a dvd in the drive I would really like understanding what happen :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
