Hello
I am brand new to SuSE 9.3 . Before I start loading the OS I would like to know how to find out if anyone knows of a sata controller that has linux drivers? I knoticed that mine (SATA3112-150I or 150R) does not support linux. I want to use a sata hard drive for my primary drive. Thank you for your direction. Regards, I am brand new to SuSE 9.3 .

Although 9.3 does not have a PPC counterpart, most sata controllers are supported in the kernel, both for i386 & PPC architectures. SuSE 10.x again supports PPC and is downloadable from the opensuse.org mirrors now. So no matter if your motherboard manual mentions Linux or not in regards to the SATA, it is very likely supported by SuSE. end of line Rusty
