RE: [suse-amd64] SerialATA disk (again)
Hi.
Same controller, same problem.
Suse 9.1 will see the sata HD, but not the on board ethernet.
The ubuntu distro works ( http://www.ubuntulinux.org )

The mainboard is on the nFroce3 chipset, so the loaded
module is sata_nv, as I have written previously. The
exact message I get upon loading this module is
ata2: faled to respond (30sec)
although the module loads.
Where should I look for the updated drivers (i.e.
SuSE's website, maiboard manufacturer's - Gigabyte -
website, nVidia website) and what am I supposed to do
once I have obtained them? Re-create the ISO image,
create a second disk with the driver, ...?
Thanks in advance
Mike

It was delivered. Your error message must have come because one person on the list didn't get the email.
"Did anybody encounter any problems with installing SuSE 9.2 x86_64 on a system with a SerialATA HD? I have a Seagate Barracuda 120GB on SerialATA as my only disk, and SuSE fails to install (in yast I get a message that no disks had been found). I have tried normal, ACPI-less and failsafe installation modes with RAID Enabled, then Disabled in BIOS. I could not find any "Compatybility mode" or similar BIOS option though. sata_nv module loads nice and easy, but: ata1: no disks found ata2: ata failed to reply within 30sec (these are what I remembered - if those messages are not precise enough, I shall get the exact ones when I try to install SuSE again).
My immediate reaction is that the 9.2 driver for your SATA controller isn't recent enough - if a sufficiently updated driver exists. Which SATA controller is it?
Since the ftp online install has the most recent kernel I would try that and see what happens.
