It is not installable with the default 10.3 kernel The patched kernel you created for the sata_sis fix gets me past the errors on the first sata controller, but that still leaves the second sata controller in a non-working state. I think a CD image is the best option in this case. The kISO solution works well. It is possible to use that to boot a debug kernel? -- 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.

I need to find a quiet time when I can reboot the computer. I have booted using the kISO, and grabbed boot.log. dmesg was empty until I started mounting disks (makes sense). I mounted what partitions I could see (not counting /swap on /dev/sda1). Not really all that much helpful that I can see in the dmesg output... and not much different between the first boot.msg and the new one attached now. -- 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.

Here is the results of cat /proc/interrupts I don't know if it makes a difference, but I am booting the kISO using noapic... thought it would be worth mentioning. -- 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.

IRQ routing is seriously hosed with your machine. Devices including USB and SATA controllers are assigned IRQ 0 which can't be shared and thus both devices fail to initialize. What happens if you don't use noapic? -- 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.

This is a BIOS defect as the machine is intended and tested to work with APIC and not with PIC interrupt controller. Trying with noapic does not make much sense to try further. Can you explain or point me to a previous bug why you need noapic? -- 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.

When I attempted to install 10.3, I got a repeatable kernel panic on boot which was resolved by using the noapic boot parameter. This allowed me to actually boot the 10.3 install disk, and get further into the install. I did manage an install that was fatally unstable. The symptoms are perfectly described in bug 331610 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331610 I followed that bug progress and when the patched kISO was released I tried it out. This patched kernel allowed me to boot and I no longer had the errors described in bug 331610 - I still used the noapic boot option though (mainly because it failed previously and noapic solved the issue). I just tried booting with no boot options, and I was able to boot the debug kISO with no errors and all drives on all SATA controllers are seen. I'm a little baffled why the default kernel panics.. but the debug kISO kernel doesn't... or why with the first patched kernel provided in bug 331610 still gave me problems. For reference... this is the output of cat /proc/interrupts after booting without using the noapic option. Also attached is the boot.msg log, again, not using the noapic option.

That means something got fixed KOTD of 20080211 and now.
