after re-reading the release notes i can see that libata can be disabled, thanks:) That would imply that all fake sdx references would have to be changed to hdx , no? But what comes next? I can manually change the grub and fstab entries, also some samba and nfs shares in yast, perhaps a few more configs, but there are many other references in many many other files, how can that be dealt with after the fact? would a symlink or three do it? should i reinstall? if yes, when / where should one proceed with the workaround in a fresh install? > > I'm sorry Cristian, but there is a downside, and a big annoyance.
