After successfully upgrading from 9.1 to 9.3 on my laptop, I tried to do the same on my desktop:
SuSE 9.3 Installation (for update) fails to mount my root partition where 9.1 is currently loaded. I have SATA disks (and I don't have any IDE disks).
My root partition is hde2 (not hda1), but 9.3 wanted it to be sda. After changing some lines in fstab 9.3 thought it was sdg (but it wasn't).
What do I need to do?
I'm sure exactly where you're going wrong, but if the kernel in the installer thinks your disk is sda, then at some point you'll need to change /boot/grub/device.map to match, unless the installer manages to succeed at that. My recent *linux installs with 2.6 kernels all seem to want SATA (like USB) to be SCSI, and that is no small problem for me: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14696 ATM, I'm using my SATA disks in systems that don't run 2.6 kernels. -- "Love your neighbor as yourself."
