https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=248860 ------- Comment #8 from teheo@novell.com 2007-04-03 00:38 MST ------- Hmmm... the kernel isn't dead. It's just the driver which is stalling the installation. Well, that's a good news. :-) Devices appearing as /dev/sdX is the expected behavior if libata drivers are used and all ATA disks will appear as /dev/sdX in the future. Your interrupt delivery is working judging from where the driver is stuck but there seems to be transmission problems when transferring data over the wire thus resulting in command timeouts (READ DMA commands are timing out). * How are the two harddisks connected? I think there is hardware problem involved here. From the 10.1 hwinfo you posted, it seems you're using 80c cable and connecting one device per channel. On a PATA cable, there are two connectors, which one did you use to connect the disks (the one at the end or the other in the middle)? * When testing opensuse 10.2, I suppose you put the media into the pioneer dvd-rw, right? * What kind of massaging do you need to get 10.1 working? * smartctl is in the package smartmontools. Please install it and report the result of 'smartctl -a /dev/hde' Thanks and please don't forget to clear NEEDINFO when answering. I have a bunch of errors to track and the bug status helps me a lot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
