I just bought that card and want to install 8.0 pro. Is this a Pro vs Personal version problem? Any URL you have would be apreciated. CWSIV
I have 3 machines running Suse 8.0, with the disks on Promise Ultra 100 Tx2. Installed without a hitch, ran fine ever since. There is an issue mentioned in the upgrade notes: in the 7 series the promise controller is less recognised. This might give you different disk numbering, a 7.3 hde might become hda under Suse 8. Would only happen in an upgrade, my experience has led me to always do clean installs. For that reason I have /home as a seperate partition and use it to carry forward files and configuration I want to keep. ie: I copy /etc into /home to refer to in setting up the new machine. -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166
