After boot (which takes a really long time) The following messages can be seen under CTRL-ALT-F1: (1.582031) ata2: soft reset failed, device not ready (1.584138) ata1: soft reset failed, device not ready doing fast reboot creating device nodes with udev (end of message under CTRL-ALT-F1) Appearently this is an old bug in the kernel. I read a bug list on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/285392 and on that listing I saw a Workaround "HW bug for SB600/700 SATA controller PMP support" on http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2008/6/14/2122314 I do not have the knowledge to correct this bug, or to see if care has been taken at SuSE to include this patch. But at the time being I can't get 12.2 running. Might this old bug be the reason, and if so, how could I get around it? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. probably one must take a computer with the same hardware (ASUS M3A78-T motherboard) 2. 3.
