I replaced the internal 2 GB drive with a 9 GB and did a full install, including source, just so I would have all available resources from the CD's on disk. The kernel does not see the external devices during boot from the CDROM. (But the Red Hat install does). I also discovered another anomally late last week with the network interfaces. Yast2 saw le0 and the hme which is part of SCSI card that also has a connector. I configured the hme as the primary interface but couldn't get out to the network. On a hunch I plugged the network cable into the le0 interface and voila! I was connected. Does Suse have anything that's equivalent to Sun's drvconfig or devfsadm?
