[opensuse] Paying for a Senior Moment
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: /dev/sda5 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/sda6 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hdc1 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 /dev/hdb /hdb ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /hdc ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd /hdd ext3 defaults 0 0 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) hdb: WDC WD400EB-00CPF0, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hdb: max request size: 128KiB hdb: 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) hdb: cache flushes not supported hdb: hdb1 Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: WDC WD1200JB-00GVA0, ATA DISK drive hdd: WDC WD400JB-00ENA0, ATA DISK drive ide1 at 0xffffc20000024c80-0xffffc20000024c87,0xffffc20000024c8a on irq 50 hdc: max request size: 64KiB hdc: 234441648 sectors (120034 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=16383/255/63, UDMA(100) hdc: cache flushes supported hdc: hdc1 hdc2 hdd: max request size: 64KiB hdc: 234441648 sectors (120034 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=16383/255/63, UDMA(100) hdc: cache flushes supported hdc: hdc1 hdc2 hdd: max request size: 64KiB hdd: 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) hdd: cache flushes not supported hdd: hdd1 It seems to me, in my rather naive way of looking at hardware issues, that I don't have the corrects fstab entries for the IDE drives. Is that information buried in the dmesg resuls? I need a solution to this problem (there's a lot in installed software and files on those HD to which I need access) and any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Finally, my apologies for the length of this message, I don't know what of the above (if any) will be useful Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I certainly hope you mean 10.2. 10.3 is in alpha now, and not recommended for general use

You want to mount hdb1, not hdb. hdb is the entire disk, hdb1 is the partition where your file system and data is Similarly, the messages show hdc1 and hdc2 as partitions, so you should be mounting those, not sdc, and hdd1 instead of hdd Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Change this to: /dev/hdb1 /hdb 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.

The output of fdisk -l (it L not one) will list all partitions on all disks. For temporary mount point you may create subdirectories in /mnt like: mkdir /mnt/hdb1 mkdir /mnt/hdb2 etc, for the rest listed in output of fdisk. They have to exist prior to attempt to use mount. The command line that works fine with unknown filesystem on target partion would be: mount -t auto /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 than look with mount without arguments what is discovered. Example: # linux:~ # mkdir /mnt/hdb7 # linux:~ # mount -t auto /dev/hdb7 /mnt/hdb7 # linux:~ # mount .... /dev/hdb7 on /mnt/hdb7 type reiserfs (rw) -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hold on! The 10.3 version is alpha, it is expected to have problems, and you are expected to solve them (as far as possible) and report to the developers, in the factory list or bugzilla.

No Problems with 10.3 here .. All the multimedia works mp3 , ogg , flacc , all the windbloZe crap stuff plays as well kaffine works fine with the DVB card audio is all good no crashes hangups or any other sillys as yet AMD 64 3500+ 2Gig ram Nvidia x86_64-1.0-9746 installed and working well (installed the propper way from init 3) . No problems yet folks it's all looking good for 10.3 if this is alpha the the next should be perfection on a disc ..
