New install of 11.3 Why don't my drives mount? Panel weirdness. KDE 4.4

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I installed 11.3 on this computer on a different drive. It boots up fine. I added my data drives to fstab by hand. After rebooting they show up in “my computer” grayed out and in the partitioner in YAST. Why are they not auto mounting? I can’t migrate off 11.1 until I have access to the drive that has all my backed up configuration files for firefox, thunderbird, xchat etc.

The panel at the bottom of the display is showing up black with light white and gray diagonal bars in it after I edited fstab and rebooted from the first boot. I don’t know anything about KDE 4/ I have been happy using KDE 3.5.

Why is openSUSE 11.3 so locked down? IS this a new policy of up tightness against users?

#2

It isn’t locked down; use the expert partitioner in YaST to check the mount points.

#3

I have looked in the YAST partitioner and the drives show up there with their partitions. The system boots and doesn’t puke on fstab. The drives don’t show up under / as mounted.

A cup pf coffee fixed my cockpit error.

I had to use the YAST partition tool as was stated. I was not able to fathom this without several hours to think about it and this cup of Decaf. Thanks to those who responded.
