[opensuse] 10.3 RC1 doesn't see SATA drive in mixed IDE/SATA environment
I have two hard drives, one IDE and one SATA. My 10.2 installation has /, /boot, /usr mounted on the SATA drive, while /home is a LVM2 volume spanning both hard drives. When I tried installing 10.3 RC1, it only detected the IDE drive. In the Partitioner module, choosing expert - import settings from previous fstab failed to find an existing fstab. The boot up process appears to load both IDE and SATA drivers, so I presume there is a problem with the SATA (sata_sis) driver. Is this likely to be fixed by 10.3 GM or will I have to stay with 10.2? -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.5, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You'd do better if you file a bug report, so they can track and probably fix it.

I have a slightly different problem with mixed IDE/SATA on RC1. I have 2 IDE hard drives, 2 CD/DVD IDE drives and 2 SATA drives. RC1 sees all the drives but can't read the partition of the first IDE drive. It installed OK on the second IDE drive, but didn't set up the boot options for Windows or 10.2 (which had no trouble with this configuration) on the first IDE drive. -- Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello, Bob ;) I've subscribed to opensuse-factory@opensuse.org and reposted my problem there, in the hope of attracting the attention of the right people. It's possible that it's a known bug. Could I suggest you do the same? I'm off to bed now. I'll look in again tomorrow. -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.5, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
