This should help everybody with an AMD64 system with SATA harddisks to install the 9.0/AMD64 DVD on such a system. [...] - support for Silicon Image (SIL) SATA controllers 3112 and 3114
After unsuccessful efforts of installing my SuSE 9.0 for Athlon64 on my Shuttle SN85G4 with only one SATA disk I decided to take that *nix system that will be first to support my SATA controller (Silicon Image 3512). The *BSD variants seemed to be on a good way but none of them finally recognized the controller. And now I see why I originally decided to buy that SuSE DVD :-) After downloading the new ISO, burning it and booting from it the installation of the standard system finally succeeded :-D Thank you very much for your efforts in providing this solution. Sound is working, too, the next thing I have to look for is getting the built-in network card to work ("NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Controller" according to Windows XP). I probably will have to put a cheap PCI network card into the system until the NVIDIA Controller will be supported. And at last there is no 3D-support for my ASUS Radeon 9600XT graphics card, yet, but it's not that important to me for now :-) Keep up the good work! Thomas.
