partition not recognized

[micder]

Just installed Kubuntu 7.04
Partitions are named as sda iso hda
No problem sofar.
Installed over Ubuntu 6.10, which resided on hda 12 (/) and hda16 (/home).
sda16 was not recognized during installation, so all is now on sda12.
sda16 is formatted ext3 with QParted, but mount -t ext3 /dev/sda16 /media/sda16 returns:
/media/sda16 does not exist.
Other distros do recognize this partition.
Is this a bug?

Is this a bug?

Rather a missing mount point, I'd guess :P in other words: does /media/sda16 exist?

Re: partition not recognized

ls /media gives a.o.
sda1 sda10 sda11 sda13 sda14 sda15 sda16 sda6 sda7 sda8 sda9

Re: partition not recognized

ls /media gives a.o. sda16

WTH Then, what does fdisk -l ("minus ell") result in?

Re: partition not recognized

Trying to use mknod, read devices.txt in /usr/src//linux-2.6.18/Documentation/ on other distro.

8 block SCSI disk devices (0-15)
0 = /dev/sda First SCSI disk whole disk
16 = /dev/sdb Second SCSI disk whole disk
32 = /dev/sdc Third SCSI disk whole disk
...
240 = /dev/sdp Sixteenth SCSI disk whole disk

Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
partitions is 15.

Seems the only solution is rearrange partitions so that Feisty takes sda15.
NB
I made dir /dev/sda16 with mkdir; the others were aoto made

Got the same when assigning partitions during installation.
However I could not use /dev/sda16.
Guess my previous post explains.

Thank you
