Tentative release notes for 10.3 seem to be nicely hidden, not yet on http://en.opensuse.org/Release_Notes. It would be nice to see http://www.suse.com/relnotes/i386/openSUSE/10.2/RELEASE-NOTES.en on http://en.opensuse.org/Factory and/or http://en.opensuse.org/Development_Version > (and bug # 305095)- I've been following that and every other related bug (keyword >15). Most of what's in them seems pretty cryptic. I would expect running activate_dm_linear /dev/sda at the start of an RC1 install should produce some evidence that anything happened in /dev, but I don't see it. > and use "hwprobe=-modules.pata" to > not use libata at all. I don't see how that could be of any help on SATA systems with >15 partitions. I already use it on PATA. > The workaround from Hannes needs some more work we will do for RC2 - but even > then it will not be nicely integrated and only something for a real hacker. >From what I can tell in the relevant bugs, activate_dm_linear seems simple enough for an unreal hacker to manage. I've been ready for quite some time if only I could find functional guidance on what to do or evidence that anything resulted from what I did. > This needs more work for 11.0. Obviously. :-p I feel like the progress so far is behind a locked door to which the public key is hidden by secret code, or doesn't exist. > The general advise really is to use hwprobe=-modules.pata - this works just > fine. On SATA? What is FATE? -- "It yet remains a problem to be solved in human affairs, whether any free government can be permanent, where the public worship of God, and the support of religion, constitute no part of the policy or duty of the state in any assignable shape."
