I see there is a newer BIOS version out. Will give that a go.
I can confirm that my Intel Bayfield I865G works with SATA and to my knowledge the BIOS has not been updated.
Perhaps the fact that I also have an IDE drive connected to the motherboard yields a different result? or the fact that the machine is dual-boot I dunno. Perhaps try adding in a small IDE drive as well as the SATA drives and see if that works.
I discovered that both drives are in fact IDE (ATA/100). I originally assumed that it was SATA drives because the BIOS was set up to enable SATA.
But I disabled SATA and the WD drives that I tried are also IDE.
I also tried an older IDE drive (no ATA) and the system did not even pick it up
I think that SuSE 9.2 and the latest kernel of SuSE 9.1 just does not play on that specific mobo.
I have installed 9.1 again and it is running with the shipped kernel. I cannot even upgrade the kernel. Perhaps it is possible to recompile the 9.2 kernel for your MB?
