Valery: Take a look in the mailing list archives (http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-amd64/2004-Jan/) and search for "SUCCESS! SuSE9 x86_64 & 2.6.1-mm4 on Tyan 2885 & Sil3114" That is a post I made late Friday evening details what I did to get SuSE 9.0 x86_64 installed on a Tyan Thunder K8W with two Seagate SATA drives. I used the Tyan supplied driver to do the install and get me to a shell prompt (still booting the installed system with the boot.iso and the Tyan driver floppy). I then compiled a 2.6.1-mm4 kernel for it using the siimage driver. The 2.6.1-mm4 driver brings the drives up as IDE drives rather than SCSI drives like the Tyan driver does. -- Steven A.
