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. Looks like some manifestation of this bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214682 Grrrrrr -----Original Message----- From: Gomez, Daniel [mailto:dgomez@tigr.ORG] Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 3:34 PM To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse] 10.2 beta1 feedback So I just upgraded myself from 10.1 32-bit and 3 issues appeared. 1) lots of checksum warnings during the pre-installation section. Appears some checksums are missing. I'd say about 30 or so. No biggie now. 2) Grub installer errors. I've seen this before on previous releases. It can easily get confused. 3) System did boot. Grub bootloader is not executing. This isn't good. I'm in rescue mode I did a chroot on the mounted root partition with /boot also mounted and proc and when I try a "grub-install /dev/sda" and get: /dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive So I google and try "grub-install --recheck /dev/sda" and get: Probing device to guess BIOS drives. this may take a long time. Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. ??

I had a similar surprise: ata_piix was selected instead of piix, resulting in /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda. But the boot messages told the solution to use the boot parameter "brokenmodules=ata_piix".

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*. Beta1 did select ata_piix accidentally, though, and it will be gone in beta2 (already gone in FACTORY). For those who can't wait until 10.3, there's the boot option 'hwprobe=[+-]modules.pata' that switches over to libata completely (resp. not).

is there a possible way to have sd? + hd? . In the moment it breaks my drive structure :(. -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards / avec mes meilleures salutation, Günther J.

Short of having udev duplicate the device nodes, no. You can of course switch to mount by label/uuid and get rid of the 'classical' device names. Which is, I believe, more or less the targeted long-term solution. Note that the names are not the real problem with this step but that sd* allows for less partitions per device than hd*. Steffen

:( Then i can't install it, at the moment :(, on my work "compy", this breaks the older installed versions (grub) . -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards / avec mes meilleures salutation, Günther J.

But will this let you install to sata when the installer can't see your "sda21" partition that proprietary operating systems/kernels have no problem using or creating? That inability means Linux never gets installed to this multiboot sata only system where / is allocated to /dev/hda16 aka /dev/sda16, and rearranging both partitioning and backup/restore strategies is simply not doable. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214992
Note that the names are not the real problem with this step but that sd* allows for less partitions per device than hd*.
For several hours I've been searching unsuccessfully through http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ trying to find out why libata uses the scsi path and consequently scsi's absurd 15 partition per disk limitation. I know the limit itself is a block major/minor limit, but can't find any background on the choice to take the scsi path, or discussion of any proposals to work around the limit. Any help finding this would be appreciated. -- "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped." Psalm 28:7 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Maybe some udev magic should be inserted to let those device nodes appear as /dev/hd* again. -`J' -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It does not. I had to edit /mnt/etc/fstab by hand to be able to continue.

I'll add brokenmodule=ata_piix because of the following question: Is it expected that the installation hangs about a minute (!) displaying "loading ata_piix"? If not, I'll file a bugreport ;-)
Beta1 did select ata_piix accidentally, though, and it will be gone in beta2 (already gone in FACTORY).
Hmm, on my laptop ata_pixx was used with Factory downloaded last night... - just not synced out yet or reason for a bugreport? Regards, Christian Boltz --
