[opensuse] Dead motherboard? Disk ok?
I have a desktop with an Asus K8V-X SE motherboard. It recently stopped
booting, saying the hard drive failed smart tests.

But when I try to go into the rescue system to save my data, the installer goes
through the warning to save my data and replace the drive, then hangs when it
tries to load via82cxxx, even when I give the kernel parameter
"brokenmodules=via82cxxx", as the installer advises during boot.

So, is it safe to say my motherboard is broken, and the hard drive probably ok?
Or are the problems independent, implying that both broke at about the same
time?
