I will try a different disc and report back to this thread before raising a bug. --
Verify that the problem not resides in the mobo or chipset. I forgot this detail.
What chipset has You mobo?
It's a Gigabyte GA7VT600 with AMD 2400XP processor & 1G RAM. Used quite heavily for several years, now relegated to primary test machine. It has run various flavours of OSL from 10.0 onwards with no problems at all YaST's hardware info says it's using pata_via for the hard discs. Installation completed with no further problems, still ok after power cycle. If I enter BIOS after power-on, drive reports 10G but as soon as 10.3RC1 starts (and pata_via is loaded?) it switches to 4.3G. If instead I put in a CD for 10.3Beta3 it stays as 10G all the way through to ready-to-install (where I aborted it). Changed to a 40G drive and the problem has disappeared - always reports as 40G. This drive is ATA100 though (as is the primary drive sda), the one giving problems is ATA66. I think this is a bug in pata-via and have accordingly opened bug #327513 Regards, -- Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
