So to summarise :
1) Installation fails to disk on PDC20265, at stage where partitioning and
filesystems are built. Disk error returned means first pata_pdc202xx_old
hosted filesystem wasn't built.
2) When "it works", there's a large number of errors going to messages,
subsequent performance is unusably slow.
These symptoms occur on hardware that was happily running pata_amd &
pdc202xx_old minutes before.
pdc202xx_old still appears to work in OS11.1-RC1, the problem is how to avoid
pata_pdc202xx_old.
As pata_pdc202xx_old bugs have remained for more than a year, with no fix in
sight, surely it is a mistake to ship with this experimental driver enabled, if
there is no working brokenmodules (or broken_modules) work round. Most
OpenSUSE users afflicted by this error, will not have the persistance required
to work through this, and will siimply blame the distro.
