YaST's hardware info says it's using pata_via for the hard discs. I think this is a bug in pata-via and have accordingly opened bug #327513 And indeed booting installer with 'brokenmodules=pata_via' seems to fix the problem. Not sure whether it's YaST or pata_via but one of them is the cause... (this added to bug report too)
Maybe this is fixed by the solution to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=325552
I think not, but hard to test - it only occurs when booting the install DVD, default is to load pata_via after (correctly) detecting the mobo. The fix that you reference is to use a different kernel, but I don't feel like trying to modify the DVD to do so - too much of a challenge! I'll wait and see what the Novell / OpenSuSE team think next week, but my guess is a bug in the installer which loads the wrong module. Of course it's just possibly a bug in the module itself, maybe triggered by two discs of different DMA rate capability. -- Regards, Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
