[opensuse] DVD Installation using Sony device
Ive just built a new PC with a Sony AW-g170AB2 DVD+/-R/RW device Ive 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 its a problem with the device driver or the correct one not being loaded. Any one got any ideas how to get around this? John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I've also tried this with 10.2 - and still fails What I dont understand is that the BIOS loader starts up the SUSE DVD - but then fails during the SUSE installation procedure. Do I need to load a kernel module - if so which one - as the Sony device is not listed?

Which is your motherboard ? Or Chipset...

It's a Foxconn P9657AA motherboard with Intel E6300 dual core processor. The motherboard has P965 + ICH8/ICH8R chipsets.

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

The SATA controllers say: Drivers: ata_piix, generic Loading ata_piix, generic The IDE controllers say: Drivers: ahci, para_jmicron, generic Loading ahci, para_jmicron, generic I've tried various combinations of brokenmodules to force certain modules not to be loaded Any other ideas? Not sure how to do what you suggest re:

Can you explain more? Does this mean to use a special installation CD and then some how redirect6 to a 10.2 DVD?

Yes. That was the only way I managed to install openSUSE... I also had a problem with the ata_piix driver recognizing my PATA devices with my ICH5R. I booted with openSUSE 10.3 alpha 2 CD1, and performed an NFS installation. I know you need a second machine for this. You could also copy your openSUSE 10.2 DVD to your harddrive, and boot with an HDD install - I've never done this but, it should work. The openSUSE 10.3 alpha CD is just to ensure that you have the 2.6.21-rcx kernel... It's the latest one, and they might have corrected your possible bug. PS: If you boot with 'manual=1', are you able to see your DVD Writer? ( Guide yourself through the menus to get that hardware information ).
Thanks for your help so far
No problem :)

My ICH5R's IDE driver is not controlled by jmicron, but through the ata_piix or ata - And it controls both SATA and PATA. And yes, after the install kernel is extracted and the system is rebooted, the PATA devices will not work. The workaround for that was to add http://software.opensuse.org/download/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_10.2/ to the list of install repositories, install that kernel instead of the one contained in the openSUSE10.2 DVD. This way, if the Kernel contained in that repository solves your problem, then you're ready to roll...
If you install to a sata drive you can use the network image from http://download.opensuse.org/ and point installation to http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/ to omitt ide alltogether.
After installation ide worked fine.
Lucky you... :)
