Yep, tried it, a few problems with 64-bit that gave me a bit of greif
initially. I have however fixed them up and made driver disks for i386 and
amd64. Was just wondering if SuSE was going to provide something similar or
if it was possible to submit them (with my modifications and tests) and have
them included for everyone to use.
Regards,
Martin.

If only there was one for the GigaRAID controller (ITE 8212F) now:(
There is a driver at: http://www.ite.com.tw/productInfo/Download.html#IT8212F I just saw it - don't know anything more.

[040309 05:16]: I have just purchased an new computer fitted with an AMD64 and SUSe 9.0 professional to go on it. Unfortunately SUSE does not find the hard drive when I try to install
The mother board is manufactured by Micro-Star International and is K8T
Neo
MIS-6702 version 1.0. the hard drive is a Seagate 120gb at 7200rpm with serial ATA. I believe the SATA is the problem.
Can anyone advise me how to get SUSE installed. I suspect the SATA needs a driver, if so where do I get it, (is there one available)? and how is it installed.?
There is a patchCD iso image with a kernel that supports SATA on ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/supplementary/9.0-PatchCD Just use it to boot, after you entered the settings for installation, you will be asked for the 9.0 DVD.
Any help gratefully accepted

ps: Would another way out of the problem, be to fit another hard drive
but
with ATA 100 (the mother board will allow this)i nstead of trying to put SUSE on the SATA drive. If I did this will there be any problems with
it. the
SUSE installer finding the second drive.?
You will need a new kernel anyways.
