283285 2004-10-21 07:00:00 Hey guys,

Got SuSE 9.1 Pro today and went to upgrade it over my 9.0 install which wasn't working anyway...

When I try to do an upgrade it says to me:
root partition in /etc/fstab currently mounted as /dev/hde7 but listed as /dev/hda7

It gave me a website at SuSE portal to visit, however I went there and it simply told me how to do something with SATA when I don't have SATA enabled or in use....

Anyone struck this prob? Or know how to fix it?

Cheers
Willie_M

283289 2004-10-22 00:11:00 Why are you trying to do an upgrade on a non-working system? The idea of an "upgrade" is that you keep most of the settings of a working system. Do you really want a non-working 9.1 system? Graham L (2)
283290 2004-10-22 00:23:00 No, you see... the upgrade will fix it, and I think this mounting problem was the problem in the first place. willie_M (5608)
283291 2004-10-22 00:24:00 if someone could just tell me what to do at the console I'll be sweet. willie_M (5608)
283292 2004-10-22 00:28:00 I would expect to see /dev/hda rather than /dev/hde. Can you pause the screem]n while booting and see what disks it is seeing, and what it's calling them? Graham L (2)
283293 2004-10-22 01:10:00 Ummm, I dont quite know what you mean but my hd setup is as so:

sal.neoburn.net

I dont know how linux stryctures the drive numbers but the partition it is installed on is hda7.
