Hi,

Nothing more for SuSE, but contrarily to SuSE database advice,
I configured my Sata controller in AHCI mode and tried again
Mandriva Linux 2006, not only it installs on my SCSI disk, but it
recognize the SATA controller, installs the driver and start Linux
installation without any problem on the SATA disks in native SATA
mode.

I like SuSE, I hope that one or more SuSE people will read this
message and the previous one and help me with my installation
of SuSE 10.

I was unable to register my copy on the Novell site in order to get
help as I did earlier!!

Thanks

Michel.

PS : copy of the first messages

 I run SuSE since release 7.1 without problem, but I just built a new 
computer :

- Asus P5WD2 Premium motherboard, Intel 955X chipset
- Pentium extreme edition (Pentium 840 dual core with hyperthreading) 
processor
- 1 GB DDR2 memory
- Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX Pci express
- Hitachi T7k250 Sata2 250 GB disk
- Hitachi 7k500 Sata2 500 GB disk
- IDE DVD rom and IDE DVD writer

for earlier compatibility I installed :

- Adaptec 39160N SCSI adapter with SCSI CRrom and 36GB HD

I tried to installed SuSE 9.3 or 10.0 (32 bits for beginning) either in 
normal or in
safe mode and the system freezes after :

Activating usb devices
Activating ieee1394 devices
Searching for file info ...

As indicated in the SuSe database, I choosed the compatibility mode in order
to be able to install on SATA disks !

In order to ckeck if the problem comes from SATA, I uninstalled the SATA 
disks
and kept only the SCSI disk, same result !

In order to test, I installed Mandriva 2006 Free without any problem on 
the SCSI
disk, so is it an AsuS problem ? or a SuSE problem ?
