My host only has IDE. Why I am using sda is beyond me. I thought for a moment my drive was SATA for a moment but it is not. There is a big problem here.
I had a similar surprise: ata_piix was selected instead of piix, resulting in /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda.
Note that the kernel people are pushing towards libata for all ATA devices, so the future (say, 10.3) will be sd*/sr* instead of hd*.
Maybe some udev magic should be inserted to let those device nodes appear as /dev/hd* again.
Yast should actually handle such an upgrade case. Ciao, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
