I don't know if a bug was submitted, but someone reported the problem to this list and I added a follow- up. I got a new SATA drive and added it to the existing IDE drive to do a fresh install on the SATA drive. I can't quite remember what happened, but I had to remove the IDE drive. I haven't reinserted the IDE drive, it's in a new box now with 11.0 Beta3 x86 installed. I saw the same problem on another box and I temporarily removed the IDE drive which I wanted to reformat, I nearly reformatted the SATA drive instead. Regards Sid. --

When I had a CD, DVD and 10K 120GB drive as IDE devices

When I removed the 10K drive I was able to see my boot SATA drive and use it. I Googled and found something about the OS sensing all IDE devices first. It looks like my BIOS does that also. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
