Hi, I'm trying to install OpenSUSE 1.3 on a HP dx2255 ^^^ ^^^
I assume you meant 10.3?

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?
I've run into this one before. There's a wiki page on a related problem: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CD_not_found_problem Mind, the insmod suggestions there did not work for me, even with an SATA DVD drive. However, swapping the disk connectors around so that the DVD drive was in slot 1. You might try that if all else fails.
