Hi, I'm trying to install OpenSUSE 1.3 on a HP dx2255 desktop: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12724_div/12724_div.HTML
It has a TSSTcorp (Samsung) DVD-writer.
After booting the install kernel, it does not find the dvd drive ("Could not find the openSUSE Repository").
Are there special driver parameters I need to pass to the libata, pata_via or sata_via kernel modules (or general kernel parameters I need to set) for the install kernel to recognize the dvd/cd drive?
Any help is appreciated.
thanks!
