This motherboard have a ICH7-R SATA controller and Suse can't recognize The version of the kernel that ships with 9.2 doesn't support IC7. I can't remember if 9.3 does, but 10.0 definitely does.

If you absolutely need 9.2, the only way I can see this happen is if you install on a another box, download and install a mantel kernel (or roll your own), and transplant the drive into the ICH7 box. I had to do something similar to make a newer Adaptec SATA raid card work under 9.2. But that was a box that was already installed and running since 9.2 was new. Hans

Hi,

Have also tried to perform instalation whith acpi=off and/or noapic whith both modes (enhanced or legacy, whith/without raid enable) but no success...

Thanks for any suggestion....

(sorry by english)

I had to use the "irqpoll" kernel option and SuSE 10.0 to recognize my ICH7 SATA controller. Check the archives (Dec 2005) and search on my name for a full description of what I had to do. Hope this helps, Buddy Coffey Advanced Electromagnetics
