Have an Albatron with Via Southbridge Sata onboard. Install goes fine if I load sata_via mod and s98klin mod, but on reboot it apparently doesn't add the manually loaded mods to the conf cause it panics trying to mount the root disk (/dev/sda1 - rieser) and I never see anything about the SATA drive. I know there must be a kernel line for this, but I have no clue what it might be.
I don't think you can load those as modules, make them part of the kernel and see if that helps. The disk needs to function for module loading to begin, but you don't have disk function yet if it's a module!
You need these modulkes in your initrd: sata_via, libata, scsi_mod, sd_mod and reiserfs Then your /-filesystem should be mountable (At least it works here for three different machines) If you loaded the modules manually (only sata_via, it loads the others) then YaST doesn't include3 these modules automatically. Just add them to /etc/sysconfig/kernel: INITRD_MODULES="sata_via libata scsi_mod sd_mod reiserfs"
Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
