I have just upgraded my linux machine to a 64bit AMD CPU. I also went from the 32bit openSUSE v9.3 to the 64bit v10.3. However, the systemboard only has one IDE connectir and I had three IDE HD's that I wanted to install in the new system. So I installed a IDE to PCI card that has two IDE cable slots. I also put a new 250GB SATA HD on the system and unstalled the OS on that so I can boot the new machine. In fact, this message is being sent via that medium.
The machine finds all of the HD's on boot, ans I can see them in Krusaders Mountg-Manager. However, when I attem;pt to mount the IDE drives in the Mount-Manager I get:
Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
Here is the fstab:

Change this to: /dev/hdb1 /hdb ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc /hdc ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd /hdd ext3 defaults 0 0
Do the same for the hdc and hdd entry except you will need 2 entries for the 2 partitions on the hdc drive as shown below in your dmesg output.
I added the last three lines in an attempt to find the drives, obviously the file system is incorrect. I accepted the openSUSE installer defaults, which is why sda5 and 6 are ext3.
Here is the output of dmesg (at least the parts that I think are for the IDE HD's)
