https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299439 Summary: SATA problems while installing on mainboard Gigabyte MA69VM-S2 Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.in.hk@googlemail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other I have a problem with my installation of SuSE 10.3. I installed the Alpha5 version as the 10.2 version wasn't running on my System with the following chipset (due to problems with the AHCI drivers) Northbridge AMD 690V; Southbridge AMD SB600; I/O Chip: ITE IT8716. My Mainboard is a Gigybyte MA69VM-S2. The 10.3 Alpha5 Version was runninng and installing great on this system, but the 10.3 Beta1 don't run at all anymore. I updated the Alpha5 Installation doing a Factory Update with the new DVD from yast2 which worked fine, but after the reboot, to activate the newly installed kernel, the system cannot boot up again, it hangs with the following error messages: ata1: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0xd0) ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) Those messages repeat for 3 times then it tries to fall back to 1.5 Gbps but also no success. Then the other 4 sata Ports are also probed like this and also give the same errors too. After this I tried a clean Install of 10.3 Beta 1 from the KDE CD which isn't working as the system hangs while loading the AHCI drivers during installation, the same as I observed with 10.2. Further details of the System: CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 EE 3800 RAM: 4 GB DDR2 HDD: 2 x 320 GB-SATA DVD: SATA LG-DVDRecorder -- 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.
