Re: Hard Drive Mania
On Sun, 26 Aug 2001 23:38:09 -0400 Hello burns from Lourens: The output of dmesg might assist you. First, the drives are listed in the normal fashion and then some useful info about each drive and the partitions on each drive.

Re: Hard Drive Mania
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. --- burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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).
