Trying to update 10.3 to 11.0, setup can't detect Linux

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi
I have a MSI P35 Neo2 motherboard.
I’m running Intel Matrix Storage Manager RAID,
I have two disks as RAID 1 and two disks as RAID 0.

On the RAID 1 disk I have a Windows XP partition and a Linux ext3 partition where openSUSE 10.3 is installed.

I want to update 10.3 to 11.0 but when I run the installation from the DVD it doesn’t find anything to update, if I select an option called show all or something like that it shows a bunch of partitions and disk named Unknown and then Unknown Linux (ext3) and so on. So the installation cannot continue. What can I do to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

Can you boot to your existing 10.3 installation and check what drivers have been loaded?

Perhaps the Intel Matrix driver needs to be loaded in the 11.0 upgrade for it to detect the drives properly.

#3

I didn’t have to load any drivers when I installed 10.3.

This is the output of lsmod
