I do most of my software development on Red-Hat 9 since it was new. My test system is a Pentium 4 /1.7 GHz on an Intel D845GEBV2 motherboard with 512k DDR-SDRAM. Put in a Samsung CDROM and three 40GB-7200 rpm Samsung Puma hard disk drives. [hda, hdb and hdd]
hda on my computer has Red Hat 9 hdb has Windows Me
Wanting to check-out what SuSE had to offer, I bought a SuSE Professional Linux 9.0 box.
SuSE installed uneventfully on hdd, but now Red-Hat 9 wont boot. It chokes when it finds SuSEs Reiser filesystem and /boot
Disabling hdd (Secondary Slave) in bios, lets my Red Hat 9 on hda (Primary Master) boot normally.
Any suggestions how to get SuSE 9.0 and Red Hat 9 to coexist?

Check Red Hat's /etc/fstab file. Red hat uses a bit different style of defining mount partitions. Instead of using plain
/dev/hdax / reiserfs defaults 1 1
kind of format, Red Hat uses something like "LABLE=/ " or something similar in each line of /etc/fstab. I don't remember clearly, since I don't use Red Hat any more. I am not sure if this is the solution, but I had faced a similar problem earlier once when I had tried to use to 2 hard disk to transfer data, and both of them had Linux installed.
HTH, Rajen.
