I have just upgraded my linux machine to a 64bit AMD CPU. I also went
from the 32bit openSUSE v9.3 to the 64bit v10.3. However, the
systemboard only has one IDE connectir and I had three IDE HD's that I
wanted to install in the new system. So I installed a IDE to PCI card
that has two IDE cable slots. I also put a new 250GB SATA HD on the
system and unstalled the OS on that so I can boot the new machine. In
fact, this message is being sent via that medium.
The machine finds all of the HD's on boot, ans I can see them in
Krusaders Mountg-Manager. However, when I attem;pt to mount the IDE
drives in the Mount-Manager I get:
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Here is the fstab:
/dev/sda5 / ext3

/dev/hdc /hdc ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd /hdd ext3 defaults 0 0
I added the last three lines in an attempt to find the drives, obviously
the file system is incorrect. I accepted the openSUSE installer
defaults, which is why sda5 and 6 are ext3.
Here is the output of dmesg (at least the parts that I think are for the
IDE HD's)

It seems to me, in my rather naive way of looking at hardware issues,
that I don't have the corrects fstab entries for the IDE drives. Is
that information buried in the dmesg resuls?
I need a solution to this problem (there's a lot in installed software
and files on those HD to which I need access) and any assistance will be
greatly appreciated. Finally, my apologies for the length of this
message, I don't know what of the above (if any) will be useful
Thanks in advance.
