I have just upgraded my linux machine to a 64bit AMD CPU. I also went
from the 32bit openSUSE v9.3 to the 64bit v10.3. However, the
systemboard only has one IDE connectir and I had three IDE HD's that I
wanted to install in the new system. So I installed a IDE to PCI card
that has two IDE cable slots. I also put a new 250GB SATA HD on the
system and unstalled the OS on that so I can boot the new machine. In
fact, this message is being sent via that medium.

The machine finds all of the HD's on boot, ans I can see them in
Krusaders Mountg-Manager. However, when I attem;pt to mount the IDE
drives in the Mount-Manager I get:

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Here is the fstab:

Change this to:

/dev/hdd /hdd ext3 defaults 0 0


Do the same for the hdc and hdd entry except you will need 2 entries for
the 2 partitions on the hdc drive as shown below in your dmesg output.

I added the last three lines in an attempt to find the drives, obviously
the file system is incorrect. I accepted the openSUSE installer
defaults, which is why sda5 and 6 are ext3.

Here is the output of dmesg (at least the parts that I think are for the
IDE HD's)
