But I haven't had any real luck googling the above. So, does anyone have any ideas on how I might proceed? Since XP sees it as a SCSI drive, is there some Linux trick I have to implement to get the same result?
Try a newe SuSE version, like 10.1 or .2
Just got home from work and thought I'd try your suggestion, but with 10.0 since I have the boxed set here. In prepping to do an install, I reconnected the second IDE drive (I had used the power cable on that drive to power the SATA drive) and put the SATA drive on it's own power cable. To my complete surprise, when I powered up the box, all three drives were recognized. The SATA2 drive got picked up as /dev/sda. I guess, for some reason not clear to me, having that second IDE drive powered off screwed something up enough to prevent detection of the SATA drive. Anyways, to say the least, I am delighted. Now off to install 10.0 just for grins..... Scott -- Et tu, Brute POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-21.14-default x86_64 SuSE Linux 9.3 (x86-64)
