Hello Stefan, Our programmes are registered and I did send this to support as well as feedback but no reply yet. System: AMD Opteron 248 Tyan K8W S2885 motherboard (with Silicon Image Sil3114 SATA controller) 1 Seagate 120 Mb SATA HDD (other box had 2) 2 GB (4x512) Kingston DDR400 REG ECC DRAM Nvidia Quadro4 - 980XGL Plextor PX-708-A DVD Writer 3.5 Floppy BIOS has been upgraded to the latest 2885_102 version. Initial boot (POST) and YaST go normally, system stops when YaST is copying programme files, anywhere from 1% to a maximum of 44% of all files. The system is back to running SuSE Linux 9.0 for AMD64 again without any problems at present and has done so since 9.0 was released. We swapped out the SATA drive for an IDE ATA/133 on one box and the installation went perfectly so the problem would appear to be with SATA or the Silicon Image Sil3114 SATA controller or support for them.

that is correct, we have two boxes Thunder K8W (S2885) with Opteron 248 and SATA hard drive. 9.1 would not install, the installation process locks up during the file copy stage.
We've got a K8W running a S-ATA disk with 9.1 here w/o any problem. The description you give seems to be a hardware problem of some other kind, maybe memory.
we solved the problem by changing out the SATA drive for an IDE ATA/133. it works perfectly now and are waiting on an IDE drive for the second box.
This is strange indeed - can you give me some more information on the failure?
support has been invoked but no solution is forthcoming yet.
SuSE support?
