Tumbleweed : kernel-default-3.6.10-15.1.i586
my system is on /dev/sdb which is 1 TB SATA HDD
- i have a /dev/sda for backups, which is 360 GB PATA HDD
kernel-default-3.6.10-15.1.i586 does not allow me to mount /dev/sda
kernel 3.4.6-2.10-desktop DOES allow mounting of /dev/sda & sees /dev/sda OK
- with kernel-default-3.6.10-15.1.i586 i get :
command :
# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt mount: special device /dev/sda4 does not exist
[ because do not feel sufficiently 'advanced' to wrestle with bugzilla reports, since kernel 3.4.6-2.10 i have been hoping this trouble would be solved and 'go away', but, no such luck ]
Are you sure the newer kernel didn't change device names? Booted to newer kernel, what is output from: 'fdisk -l'? 'lspci | grep IDE'? lsscsi? llsusb? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
