Dear Sarah,

got some time off work, for the sake of those good old days...

Don's patch worked, it sees now the device and I can mount both
partitions (one dos, the other ext4) on it :)

The kernel I applied the pacth to was the openSuSE Factory 64-bit
3.6.0-rc7-1-desktop kernel. (Actually I just read
the patch and manually edited the source code).

Thanks very much, and good work to you all for the sake of all of us users!

Best wishes, Gabor
