Are you talking about the partitions, or the physical drives? If the
drive recognition in Linux isn't matching reality, then you've got a
BIOS issue. If its a partition issue, then its a Linux and/or BIOS
problem. Either way, first stop should be in the BIOS to see how the
drives are recognized.

Well here's a fine kettle of fish, Ollie.
I have installed Suse 7.2 Pro over the weekend and have had to
reshuffle
harddrives a couple of times to accomodate both Windows and the
appealing but
largish Suse install... this is (still) a dual boot system.
Disk 3 was reformatted to EXT2 and not all are being picked up by the
system
(I don't think 2 3 are). I can edit the fstab file, but how do I
know which
drive is actually now which device, when the devices listed are not
updating,
not all of them are being listed and the fstab listing no longer
matches the
current reality?
Here are the facts:
System Details:
- ABit BP6 Mainboard
- Dual Celeron CPUs
- 512 MB SDRAM
- Creative Nvidia TNT2 Ultra graphics card
- Soundblaster Live Value sound card
- Disk 1, Master on primary EIDE, 9Gb Fat32 Primary for Windows, 10Gb
for
Linux with default Suse install partions (boot, swap /)
- CDROM, Acer 50x ATAPI = slave on primary EIDE
- Disk 2, Master on secondary EIDE, 13.2Gb EXT2 for Linux storage
- Disk 3, Slave on secondary EIDE, 4Gb fat32 Primary for Windows
storage
- Disk 4, Master on first ATA66 UDMA channel, 13Gb fat32 split into
approximately two logical 6Gb drives/partitions.
Following is result of df:
