[opensuse] Opensuse 10.3 installer not able to find (DVD) medium on HP dx2255
Hi, I'm trying to install OpenSUSE 1.3 on a HP dx2255 desktop: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12724_div/12724_div.HTML It has a TSSTcorp (Samsung) DVD-writer. After booting the install kernel, it does not find the dvd drive ("Could not find the openSUSE Repository"). Are there special driver parameters I need to pass to the libata, pata_via or sata_via kernel modules (or general kernel parameters I need to set) for the install kernel to recognize the dvd/cd drive? Any help is appreciated. thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

Seems the problem has migrated from Blue White 64 Linux the 64 bit Slackware distro i had to give up on it because of that sefl same problem could not sort it out then best of luck .. I will be watching with interest . I was / am using an Compaq Presario V5030 with the same DVD drive in it . having said that it is now running Opensuse 10.3 GM with very few updates on it i have learnt the hard way not to trust updates till someone else has ironed out the killers ..

Have the same problem with my desktop. No CD/DVD drive. Have to live without their use until the problem is solved. Has something to do with libata, whatever that is. Somebody informed me that "Tejun Heo of Novell is trying to get a big collection of "ATAPI" related fixes into the vanilla kernel, and I assume they will eventually come out for 10.3's kernel". Just be on the lookout for patches for the kernel from Tejun.

I assume you meant 10.3?

I've run into this one before. There's a wiki page on a related problem: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CD_not_found_problem Mind, the insmod suggestions there did not work for me, even with an SATA DVD drive. However, swapping the disk connectors around so that the DVD drive was in slot 1. You might try that if all else fails.
