IDE to SCSI switch

Hi all,

I have a LEAP 15 system as VM on VMWare ESX host. I would like to change the Virtual Device node type from IDE to SCSI. When i do that on vmware VM settings and start the VM the OpenSUSE LEAP 15 system won’t boot.

Error:
A start job is running for dev-disk…9763.device (16min 32sec/no limit)

If i change back to IDE adapters, everthing works fine.
What could i do to fix this?

Would adapter switch result in UUID change? Any other idea?

Please help.
