Hy,

I'am back to report my experiences by installing Suse 9 AMD64 on
my K8V deluxe with two 1614c drives system ...

OK, Last Status in the List is that I finally reached YAST but the System
told me, that there were no disks found. So I canceled the job. The
process took me to a DOS-typed blue Interface called "Linux rc" or
"rcLinux" or someting like that. I tried the driver section to manually
install a SATA Driver and "surprising" there was a VIA SATA driver
chooseable. After that I started again Installation and YAST found
the two SATA drives. I agreed with the default proposal that YAST
gave me to go on installing. After pressing "next" I got the message
that the process can't go on unless some changes have been done.
I have no imagination which changes I shall do, so I also tried some
manual modifications as described in the user manual supplied in
my AMD64 DVD parcel, including formating etc. But no way, always
this same message "process can't go on unless some changes have
been done" (-> this is a translation, I used german install language)

Any Ideas ?

As I've got to 160GB drives, I formerly intended to boot with XP from
the first drive or optional from the second drive with Linux. So I don't
care to format the second drive in any way it will be "comfortable"
for my little Linux 9 ... ;-)

Any comments will be apprechiated ...

I want to get this OS finitely running ...

Regards
Francisco

Ok ... a last Info: I created on every disk two partitions with ~ 75 GB
