Thanks to all who answered. Figured that was so. Reason I asked is that in
SUSE 10.3 They are loading libata drivers as default. This limits the
partitions to 15. If I want to load the IDE drivers I have to say so at boot.
I was wondering if the SATA drive would act the same as the IDE drives. Hence
my question.
Robin,
I would do that but only have space for one unless I go external.
Thanks again. This is a great list.
