Hi guys,

I've talked with arighi on irc and am now posting my problem here :)

I've taken an image of OpenSuSE 10.3 and when I install it on a client, it
(after much tweeking on v4.0.2 - and without "that many" problems on
v4.1.5svn and 4.1.4 on the client) installs fine.

When the opensuse grub boot menu comes up, it still has the
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA... listed as root device.

If I modify this to /dev/sda3 (which is what the installation is written
to) it says it can't see /dev/sda3.

I'm dumped into what is probably the initrd shell - which has NO sd*
devicenames at all :( - and no /dev/disk... folder either.

I had a look at OpenSuSE 10.2 - it uses /dev/sdXX in it's fstab - so I
guess this is not an issue for a 10.2 version (haven't tested).

It seems as the suse kernel is only giving out USB messages..

Any ideas as to how to fix this odd behavior?

p.s. I tried to si_mkautoinstallcd, using the kernel from the opensuse10-3
image. Then it says it sees 5 disks (sda, sdb etc.) - but says "no medium
found" for /dev/sda - so it seems that kernel detects the cdrom device
first. I don't know if this is relevant at all :)
