How exatly does one figure that out? If it has the Jmicron thing? I run in problems with SuSE 10.2 and the ASUS P5K motherboard. Here my notes I made at that time how I got it running:

Load the BIOS, pressing DEL just after power it on. Somewhere in the BIOS setup there should be an option for the JMicron drive controller("Onboard Devices" in the P5B BIOS menu). Set it to AHCI mode. Save and exit with F10.
Re-start the installation process adding in the first boot menu the boot option: insmod=ide-generic insmod=pata_jmicron
As of the JMicron chip: there should be an entry in the BIOS.
Yes, that's the thing from the opensuse Wiki (CD not found). However, in my case, its a different motherboard, and the recommended simple solution (use an SATA DVD drive) applies. The drives in question are DVD - Pioneer SATA HD - WD SATA2 HD - WD SATA2 Michael, who is puzzled and will try burning and installing the 10.3 image tonight... -- Michael Fischer michael@visv.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
