    Hi,

    don't know anything about the Ultra 1, but may this work ?

    Install the new HD, boot SuSE from CD-ROM, but instead of
    running yast2, use "manual" at the boot prompt. Then run
    the "rescue system" from CD-ROM (in yast1's text menus:
    "Start Installation","Rescue System" "From CD-ROM")

    Now you should have a running suse linux, try to run "fdisk"
    on the new drive. Check "/proc", dmesg, and Console 3 (or 10?)
    for system messages.

    You can check the system messages of the boot procedure
    while in the "manual" mode of yast1 as well. I don't know if you
    need modules, but might worth checking it.

    Thomas

    I bought an ultra 1 and put a new hard drive in it but i cant get suse
    to recognize it?? It will install on the old hard drive if I put that
    back in but it is to small.. any ideas on how to fix this issue??

    I did get solaris 8 to install on this drive by writing a new sig to it
    but I cant figure out how to do it for suse??

    Phil
