[Alauda] Unable to mount picture cards in openSUSE 10.3 and later

[Karl S. <sch...@gm...>]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I believe that I may have stumbled upon the reason as to why the alauda driver 
is able to mount picture cards perfectly in openSUSE 10.2, yet is unable to 
mount them in oS 10.3 and later. In oS 10.2, the hard disks were labeled as 
hda, hdb, etc. However, starting in oS 10.3, the labelling has changed to 
sda, sdb, etc. In oS 10.2, as well as in Windows, the Xd and Sd slots of my 
Olympus MAUSB-10 register as sda and sdb, respectively.

Is it possible that there is a conflict here? It seems that the alauda driver 
wants to label these slots as sda and sdb, but is unable to do so, because 
these labels are already taken by the hard disks in oS 10.3 and later. 
Perhaps the driver is unable to assign alternate scsi-device ids, and as 
such, just gives up, thus leaving picture cards unmounted.

Please look into this matter as soon as possible.
