I'm using:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3-Beta2/iso/cd/openSUSE-10.3-Be...
My initial start screen reads:
F2: Language: Deutsch | English
F3: Video Mode: 1280 × 1024
F4: Source: CD-Rom
F5: Kernel: Default
F6: Driver: No
=> Installation, no kernel parameters
-Skip Media Check (why don't have I here an Alt-F4 console anymore?)
- Accept license
- Now at the next page "System Probing" I have a popup Info window saying:
"Your disk /dev/sda"
"contains 17 partitions. The maximum number of partitions that the kernel
driver of the disk can handle is 15. Partitions numbered above 15 cannot be
accessed."
"openSuSE is switching to the new IDE drivers using the libata modules. These
do only support partitions" ? guess that should be drives> " with up to 15
partitions.
You haave the following options with openSuSE 10.3:
- Use the old IDE drivers: Boot again and add 'hwprobe=-modules.pata' as
argument to the kernel
- Repartition your system ......
- Use LVM/EMS since they can provide an arbitrary and flexible number of block
deevices partitions. This needs a repartition as well"
Does this coexist peacefully with eCS/OS/2 systems using IBM's LVM?
Note: <...> are my comments
