           Summary: failed to detect CD drive - on HP dx7300 with SATA
                    DVD+RW
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: Beta 1
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0

        ReportedBy: ah@forex.pl

          Found By: Beta-Customer

After default kernel image selection (pressing enter)
kernel decompressed and initial loading proceeded fine - until:

several messages:
- drive not ready yet

and than finally
failed to detect CD drive

since (gnome suse11B1) CD boots fine on other machine (Dell)
i suspect the problem with sata connection
(currently on this HP machine I have Fedora 8 and Suse 10.3 working fine)

however i tried two different drives
- original HP ligtscribe DVD model
and 
LG DVD writer model SH-S203

the motherboard has no PATA connectors at all (only four SATA) - maybe this is
a problem ?

this hp chipset is based on intel Q965
model specs:

perhaps a similar bug is:

I do not know how to pass (with this beta) options to kernel because when i
type linux [enter] it fails to load
