Hi all -
I just tried to install 10.3beta2 (the KDE CD iso) on my 64bit machine. The
first steps worked until the installation set-up. But when I check the
suggested partitioning it recognises my IDE disk as an /dev/sda and the menu
in the partitioner also says it is a scsi disk. Checking on the suggested
GRUB entries, the 10.2 root is also set to /dev/sda. At that point I stopped,
because I did not want to shoot down my working 10.2 installation.
I remember dimly that there was something about devices not correctly
identified at some point in bugzilla, but I could not find it back...
The question is: Is this a real bug or a feature? I always thought that IDE
disks should be on hda devices.
It is a feature. hda is ... mostly history.
We now use libata for IDE drives which is a SCSI based library.
Ciao, Marcus
