The reverse of this last statement is not true though. I have a fairly
new machine I bought just before xmas. Clone using a ASUS P5K SE
motherboard with onbaord SATA. I can get openSUSE 10.3 installed on it
OK but SLES 10 SP1 does not recognise the Disk Controller during the
install. Even following some information re forcing the Marvell driver
to load did not work. So for very modern HW there is still some
differences between SLES 10 SP1 and openSUSE.
