RE: [suse-amd64] Installing directly to SATA drive on Asus SK8N
just subscribed to the list. I got an opteron 144 on an Asus SK8N mobo this week with a 120Gb seagate SATA drive.
Can SuSE 8.2 be installed directly to the drive ? I can't get it to recognise it at all, but am not sure which drivers to use? Or should I just install to a default IDE drive and use the SATA drive seperately?
No, AFAIR it cannot - there's no open source driver for the SATA controller. Andreas
FreeBSD has one: atapci0: <Promise PDC20378 SATA150 controller> port 0xdc00-0xdc7f,0xdfa0-0xdfaf,0xdf00-0xdf3f mem 0xfc9c0000-0xfc9dffff,0xfc9ef000-0xfc9effff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci1 It could be ported to Linux.

AFAIK Promise freed their driver too, but I'm not sure how usable it is. It is currently not supported in SuSE at least. -Andi
