https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308384#c3 Tejun Heo changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |NEEDINFO Info Provider| |desaster.area@addcom.de --- Comment #3 from Tejun Heo 2007-09-07 04:38:48 MST --- Hmmm... According to the report, the first stage of installation succeeded including copying to the disk (pata_sis must have worked fine there) but on the following reboot the kernel failed to detect harddisk, right? I think it's most likely that the generated initrd doesn't contain pata_sis. Adam Blech, please boot with the installation media, let the installation system fully load and then press ctrl-alt-f9. It will give you a command console. Plug in a usb disk. dmesg will tell you which device the usb disk is (probably /dev/sdb if you have only one disk on the system). Mount it by running "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt", you might have to load modules for the filesystem used on the usb stick. Then, run the following commands. # hwinfo --all > /mnt/hwinfo.log # cp /var/log/boot.msg /mnt/boot.msg # dmesg > /mnt/dmesg.log # unmount /mnt Reboot to a usable system and please post the three files from the usb stick. Thanks. -- 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.

It's possible that things went slightly differently when booting from the harddisk and reading the partition table went south while booting after installation. * How is your drive wired? I see it's the only drive on the channel. There are two connectors on a IDE cable, to which slot is the drive connected - the one at the end or the middle? * If you press ESC while booting you can see the kernel message, while booting after installation, does the kernel print messages like the above? If so, can you take pictures of those messages and post them here? -- 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.

Regarding your question about my harddisk: in my laptop there is only one slot for hard disks. A question from my side: with SuSE10.2 and the driver sis5513 everything works fine, also on this hard disk. Why do you want to use pata_sis? Is there a possibility to try the installation of 10.3 with the sis5513 (which is in the list of drivers during installation)? brokenmodule=pata_sis didnt work, pata_sis was used anyway.
