Ah... weird. Here's what I know till now. 1. In your BIOS, enhanced means ahci mode while compatible mode means IDE mode, which is a bit unusual as most BIOSen use enhanced/compatible for IDE enhanced/legacy modes. 2. When in ahci mode, detection works fine && the installer is also loading fine (the drive reads data successfully under ahci), but the drive times out a read request after a while and never comes back. It's not too uncommon for ATAPI drives to completely check out after certain failures including media problems, so I would suggest a media problem but compatible mode working doesn't really fit. 3. After installing in compatible mode, you should be able to switch to enhanced mode. The ATAPI device might fail the same way but the disk should work fine and as unique device ID is used to mount file systems, it should just work. Dunno why it's not working yet. So, we're seeing two different problems and I'm a bit lost at the moment. Can you please post /etc/sysconfig/kernel from the installed system? Also, just in case, can you please burn another installation media and see whether the problem persists? Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
