Hello SuSE people, Made a DVD for 11,0 and went to install it. I had planned to use KDE4 and use it as a test machine until I was satisfied that everything worked OK. The partitioner proposal has changed everything around and I am afraid to proceed because I am pretty sure it will mess up my 10.3 and other installed versions of Linux. Now this needs to be explained with some historical background. I originally had two IDE drives installed. hda and hdb. Windows was installed on hda and the rest of it was used for storage, backup, etc. 10.2 was installed on hdb by itself. I then bought a big sata disk to install 10.3 on. The 10.3 installer made the sata disk sda. Then it made hda into sdb and hdb into sdc. Quite unexpected aas it didn't tell me that in the partition scheme. But, it all worked. I posted this strange thing to this list but I got no comments or replies. I have since blown away 10.2 which was on sdc (originally hdb) and was going to install 11,0 there. Back to the 11.0 installer. It couldn't come up with a viable partition scheme and I called up the expert partitioner. Now it shows the disk with the window and storage stuff as sda. (formerly sdb and before that hda) and the disk formerly containing 10,2 as sdb (formerly sdc and before that hdb) And the disk containing 10.3 as sdc (formerly sda) Now you can see why I am afraid. I think the very least it will do is mess up the fstab's and Grub. So,,, to all the hard disk guru's out there what do you think. Ever seen or heard of this before? Any comments, idea's suggestions? BTW this all started with that untested libata garbage. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
