[opensuse-factory] 10.2RC1 install failure (& fix) on ASUS P5B Deluxe
Boards that use the Intel P965 chipset have another chip for PATA support since no IDE support is included on the P965 chipset. On the P5BD (and some other boards), this chip is a Jmicron chip. If the Jmicron (there's a separate setting for the ICH8) is set to "AHCI" in the BIOS, CD1 will be recognized (if it is in a typical IDE CDROM drive on the PATA port), and the installation will start. However, it will soon be unable to find the CD it was reading from a moment before, and ask you to insert CD1 repeatedly. The fix is to back up to the menu choice that allows loading IDE drivers and load the pata_jmicron driver. Once that's done the installation will proceed normally.

Please report this in bugzilla - not sure whether we can handle this at this point of time but let's at least try...

I just saw the following going into our kernel build: Fri Nov 24 09:06:57 CET 2006 - patches.drivers/libata-fixup-pci-quirks-defines: JMicron ATA controler not correctly detected on ASUS P5B-VM (217930). So, I hope this is fixed for the goldmaster, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

That bug has been in Bugzilla for quite a while already. In fact, as of this morning's batch (U.S. West Coast time) the bug was fixed. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217930, as your second message in this thread indicates.

The bug I reported below did not get fixed in the GM release. There are
a number of new motherboards that use the Intel 965 chipset and the JMicron
chip to control the PATA optical drive. It's particularly unfortunate
when the GM release will not install on such a mainstream board as the
ASUS P5B Deluxe...

The fix is to back up to the menu choice that allows loading IDE drivers and (re-)load the pata_jmicron driver. Once that's done the installation will proceed normally.
