I have an old P3 box, 256M RAM, CD-R/W, DVD-R and

problem:

If I boot to knoppix 5.1 live, the system sees both hda and hdb.
I can use qtparted on both and change the partition tables,
format, etc. I can mount both drives and access both.

When I try to install opensuse 10.3, it does not see the 6GB
drive at IDE 0, 1 (normally hda). It sees the 4GB drive and says
it is hda, presumably because that is the only drive recognized.

So, why is 10.3 being difficult?

Try to boot using a live CD with openSuSE 11.0 in order to see if it's able to
detect your hardware.
