If you need lots of partitions (/dev/hdx naming) use the workaround from the release notes. I seriously doubt 10.3 will ever support increased partitions for /dev/sdx devices. I have read nothing on the kernel ata list that shows anyone is even working on it yet. Of course Novell could be doing so on their own, but I would be very surprised.
