I obtained a newly released Opteron/Athlon64 socket 939 motherboard from SuperMicro. I built the box and put the DVD in and booted. After I get
What chipset is it?
ServerWorks HT1000 or HT2000. I'm not in my office now so I'll have to find out later.
Ah that's not really supported in 9.3. Probably not even 10.0.
It's a bit strange that the hard disk works and the DVD doesn't though.
I see a chicken-egg issue. IIRC the SLE9 had an option at the bottom to load a specific driver before the installation. Perhaps that is possible with 9.3?
Yes it is.
Maybe I have to copy the DVD to a disk, operate on it, copy it back to another DVD?
The installer can install over the network or from disk. Just chose it on the first screen with the function keys. Or quit yast and do it using the text mode installer, which has also more options for this.
If you install it this way please send hwinfo output.

OK, SuSE 10.0 worked. The kernel supports the ServerWorks HT1000 chipset. The DVD drive was not an issue since it was the same as five other boxes running 9.3. Also, the BIOS choice for SATA had to be set to MMIO instead of IDE. Now I have to evaluate this motherboard (SuperMicro H8SSL-I) and compare it with the Tyan K8E and decide which one to design into our equipment. Thanks to everyone who helped.
