Probably your DVD is not being recognized by that current Kernel Driver. Do you have your IDE BIOS settings at Compatible/Legacy mode ? If so, try to switch it to AHCI/Enhanced... Also, if you boot to your installation system with 'splash=verbose' you can watch witch drivers are loaded to you IDE controller. If you look at something like: drivers, piix, ata_piix. etc... loading piix try to pass the option bronkenmodules=piix at boot. This way the driver loaded will be the ata_piix. If it still doesn't work, try to install openSUSE10.2 with openSUSE's 10.3 alpha installation CD. Then just add a recent kernel from SUSE HEAD repository. Hope it helps you... Rui

I've just built a new PC with a Sony AW-g170AB2 DVD+/-R/RW device
I've tried to install SUSE 10.1 from a DVD without success.
The PC boots up from the DVD without a problem. However when I select the Installation option it says its cant find CD number 1. I guess it's a problem with the device driver - or the correct one not being loaded.
Any one got any ideas how to get around this?
Which is your motherboard ? Or Chipset...
