Hello,
I try to upgrade from 10.2 to 11 and the installation disk is not able to proof HD. Server 10.2 is up running, HD is a WD 20 gb.
BTW I tryed upgrating from network installation disk, other boxess using WD HD updated no problme.
Any suggestion
Best regards
Al
Sorry, do not understand what you mean by “proof” HD.
BTW, 10.2 to 11.0 is a major change. In particular, libata is now used along with disk controller drivers, and disk naming changes from hda to sda.
Installation can not detect HD.
Thx
From 10.2 in a terminal window, post back output of:
lspci
When you start the installation from the DVD you can press the Escape key to drop the splash screen; you may see the problem there. Or if you get further into the installation gui and it is there you have the problem, press Ctrl-Alt-F3 and Ctrl-Alt-F4 to see the logging messages; again, you may see the problem there.
Here is th output:

I am not using DVD, I install from the network. I am using minimum installation, just for server not as a desktop.

On the DVD boot menu, in the Boot Options field below, trying this:
insmod=sis5513 insmod=ide-generic
If that doesn’t work, try this:
insmod=5513 brokenmodules=ide-generic
Again, if this fails, press Ctrl-Alt-F3 and Ctrl-Alt-F4 to see if there are any log messages that help.
Thx
There is not problem with controller. The installation probed hard disk controller. The module load, there is not error reported with the controller, module pata_sis.ko loads fine.
When the installation process probe system the hard drive failed. Hard disk is a Western Digital 2000. Again the box is up and running with 10.2.
Any other suggestion
Best regards

No information from Ctlr-Alt-F3 or Ctrl-Alt-F4?
If none of above work, you could try either a different kernel (for example 10.3 or 11.1) or, since it is just the server version, what about doing an in-place upgrade from YaST instead (this is what I would do)?
As I wrote before, the kernel does not talk to the disk drive itself, it only talks to the chipset and controller.
Hello
Tryed 11.1, I was ablre to installed, Installation recognazied HD but when reboot the box error reported…something like ata1 link with hd…reporting error(0). I did a new installation and remortad hd… no good. Finally Installed 10.2 back and working no problem.
I belive 11.xX kernell has problem recognizing Wester Digital 20 gb HD.
Best regards

Once again, it has nothing to do with the disk drive itself. But there looks to be a problem with the kernel (and 11.1 kernel is different than 11.0) and your particular controller, bios, acpi, etc. You might try these boot options:
acpi=off apm=off nolapic noapic pci=nomsi
Or do an in-place YaST upgrade. Before doing that be sure to print out the output of “lsmod”, and also the contents of /etc/sysconfig/kernel.
