I have just upgraded my linux machine to a 64bit AMD CPU. I also went from the 32bit openSUSE v9.3 to the 64bit v10.3. However, the systemboard only has one IDE connectir and I had three IDE HD's that I wanted to install in the new system. So I installed a IDE to PCI card that has two IDE cable slots. I also put a new 250GB SATA HD on the system and unstalled the OS on that so I can boot the new machine. In fact, this message is being sent via that medium. The machine finds all of the HD's on boot, ans I can see them in Krusaders Mountg-Manager. However, when I attem;pt to mount the IDE drives in the Mount-Manager I get: Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Here is the fstab: /dev/sda5 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/sda6 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hdc1 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 /dev/hdb /hdb ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /hdc ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd /hdd ext3 defaults 0 0 I added the last three lines in an attempt to find the drives, obviously the file system is incorrect. I accepted the openSUSE installer defaults, which is why sda5 and 6 are ext3. Here is the output of dmesg (at least the parts that I think are for the IDE HD's) hdb: WDC WD400EB-00CPF0, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hdb: max request size: 128KiB hdb: 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) hdb: cache flushes not supported hdb: hdb1 Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: WDC WD1200JB-00GVA0, ATA DISK drive hdd: WDC WD400JB-00ENA0, ATA DISK drive ide1 at 0xffffc20000024c80-0xffffc20000024c87,0xffffc20000024c8a on irq 50 hdc: max request size: 64KiB hdc: 234441648 sectors (120034 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=16383/255/63, UDMA(100) hdc: cache flushes supported hdc: hdc1 hdc2 hdd: max request size: 64KiB hdc: 234441648 sectors (120034 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=16383/255/63, UDMA(100) hdc: cache flushes supported hdc: hdc1 hdc2 hdd: max request size: 64KiB hdd: 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(100) hdd: cache flushes not supported hdd: hdd1 It seems to me, in my rather naive way of looking at hardware issues, that I don't have the corrects fstab entries for the IDE drives. Is that information buried in the dmesg resuls? I need a solution to this problem (there's a lot in installed software and files on those HD to which I need access) and any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Finally, my apologies for the length of this message, I don't know what of the above (if any) will be useful Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
