I was trying to follow the unofficial SuSE Faq, and brought Linux to the point that it wouldn't boot. I'm sure it works on a vanilla system, but I need a bit more information. I got my system up again by coming up in safe mode and undoing the menu.lst changes.
The FAQ says to edit menu.lst and add the following to the linux kernal line: max scsi luns=1 hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi
I think my problem is that (a) I followed it blindly and (b) my system has two hard drives.
My options originally were root=/dev/hdb2 hdd=ide-scsi vga=791 pci=acpi
Following the FAQ, I changed it to root=/dev/hdb2 max scsi luns=1 hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide=scsi
If I'm reading it right, this would make my boot device (hard drive) conflict with my dvd. The question then becomes what should it have been. If I had to guess, I'd say: root=/dev/hdb2 max scsi luns=1 hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi
How close am I? Can anyone help / explain?
since you have "root=/dev/hdb2" you definitely should not have hdb=ide-scsi. Your guess looks ok, except that it's max_scsi_luns, not max scsi luns. i.e. the spaces should be underscores
