Hi,To replace a dying SATA hard-disk I bought another one, but the
boot process hanged with the "Searching for info file" message. Using
Alt-F4 the last message was about ata2: ... After trying to boot in
rescue mode with that disk alone and on both SATA ports I assumed the
hard-disk was bad. Different SATA disk (Western Digital 120 GB, 8 MB
cache) and still the same problem. This time I tried using my old
SuSE 9.1 DVD and it sees the new disk and formatted it with ReiserFS
without problem.But SuSE 9.3 still shows the same problem. I will try
to type of the screen the messages from Alt-F4:[...] scsi0 : sata_sil
irq 11: nobody cared! [] __report_bad_irq+0x1c/0x70 []

ata2: dev 0 ATA-6, max UDMA/133, 234441648 sectors: LBA48Any idea how
I can get this hard disk to work under 9.3? I don't want to switch to
SuSE10 now, because all my other machines are 9.3 and I usually a
full upgrade in the summer.Thanks, Carlos PS: I forgot to mention
that my original Seagate SATA still boots fine, despite the couple of
bad blocks.-- Carlos
