This question got discussed here several times. The 2.4 kernel, which you are probably trying to use, does not support SATA yet, the 2.6. kernel, which will probably be in SuSE 9.1, does support SATA.
Not exactly. Kernel 2.4 (as of SUSE LINUX 9.0) does have some S-ATA support - but it depends on what controller you are using. The S-ATA hard disks on the other hand do not matter at all. It is true, however, that S-ATA Support in Kernel 2.6 on SUSE LINUX 9.1 will be a lot better (more S-ATA controllers supported). Whoever has problems with S-ATA and is looking for help here should definitely mention what controller he is using. Without this information it is impossible or at least difficult to help.
