Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Milestone 1 of 6 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: stiening@comcast.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; InfoPath.2) I have a system with 9 disks. The system disk is attached to an AMD controller on the motherboard. The remaing 8 disks (raid) are attached to two pcie controller cards (adaptec). In versions of openSUSE 11.1 and earlier the system disk is reported as /dev/sda. In openSUSE 11.4 milestone 1 the system disk is reported as /dev/sdi. The install fails with a notice to the effect that the bios can report only 8 disks and that manual intervention is required to specify a place for the boot loader. The workaround is to remove the 8 raid disks and reinstall the system. When the raid controllers are plugged in again the newly installed system boots just fine. I'll provide more detailed information if requested to do so. The same hardware was used in all of the tests described here.
