Mounted hda3 and saw that the fstab how everything correctly.
Change /etc/fstab accordingly. b) Check if your ide module is actually loaded and the partitions are recognised.
How do I check for that, and if it isn't loading how do I make it load?
You'll need to: 1. Determine which module should be loaded to see the drives. You can do this by running a text-based install to the point where the installer loads all the modules, then see what modules are being loaded. 2. Mount the boot and root partitions so that boot is under root, and then edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel on the hard disk. I'm presuming you know how to do this. 3. Chroot to the root partition on the disk and run mkinitrd as root to rebuild your initrd (keep a backup, just in case). Googling for chroot will help here, as will the SuSE admin manual where it talks about adding kernels to the boot manager. 4. Cross fingers and reboot. I had to do this once when I swapped RAID controllers on a box. YMMV, but good luck! Mark
