Re: [suse-amd64] Amd64 MoBo Recomendations
Chuck,
I've been running SuSE 9.0 Pro amd64 for about 10 days with support for SATA HDD's. SuSE has made available a cdrom boot image that is applied to a CD-R which is then booted, it then requests the DVD for installation of rpm's. The cdrom iso file is located on one of the other branches namely /pub/suse/x86_64/supplementary/9.0-PatchCD. I hope this helps. Mark Adams. << I believe that the patch CD is for installation on an SATA system disk, right? My system has an IDE disk and an SATA disk. I installed to the IDE drive - the patch CD was not available at the time (mid-November). I was impatient for SATA support and I read a thread here about the 3ware card. I ordered one, installed it & was able to partition & mount the drive. Sometime after that, I read that a kernel update had made the Via SATA controller active - I have not bothered to try it since the 3ware card is working fine. As a humorous aside - when my v9.0-64 came in the mail. I wondered where the other CDs were (there was only one in the box). My CD drive wouldn't read it & I was frustrated until I inspected the "CD" and read "DVD-1". Well, a mad rush up to Fry's before they closed netted me a DVD-ROM and, eventually, a working system. Sheesh - I vaguely remembered that fact from when I ordered the product but completely forgot it when it arrived. So, actually, I'm good except for the sound... 8^( ......Chuck

Same MoBo here, same distro, and sound is working ;). Took a little fiddling with the sound channels in YaST, set them all to 100%, regardless of purpose. Some have in the meantime reverted to more sensible values, but the sound keeps working... Good luck, Chris
