Greetings 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 through the installation choices, the installer stops and says it can no longer "see" the DVD/CD reader (panel becomes painted in red). This I tried with every installation choice (acpi on/off, safe mode etc.). I tried loading SLE9 and I got a different problem -- it could not see the SATA hard disk. I suspect that the loaded 9.3 kernel module has trouble talking to the DVD drive because of some chipset issue. I'm surprised that the initial whatchamacallit that boots and starts the installation process has no trouble with the DVD drive. Has anybody conquered this demon? TIA & Cheers
