I did a successful installation of openSuse 11.1 RC1 on my PowerMac G5 dual after I circumvented the formatting bug. Updated the system, ran a few tests. Then after 2 days it would not start anymore because the module sata_svw is missing. Tried to start from the installation DVD with rescue but that didn't help. So my question : Is there a way to recover without re-installing the system? And from Googling I see this is a long time bug, has anybody seen a solution?
Its not clear what went wrong, how and where sata_svw is missing. Try to boot into the installer, then abort the installation. In linuxrc, do 'Start Installation' -> 'Boot into installed system' and see how far you get. Run mkinitrd and lilo manually, maybe this fixes the booting issue?
