Hi.
Problem: Seagate's SATA drives doesn't change to "write mode" when the SATA controller is from Silicon Image.
Solution: Change your drives to Western Digital or Maxtor. No more solutions found yet.
I tried to solved it 6 months ago and finally that was the best solution. It's a Seagate failure, not from Silicon Image.
Hmmm.. Looks like the problem is far worse. I tried a Western Digital WD800 ATA/100 drive and it gives the same problem. Maybe the kernel that SuSE 9.2 ships with has an issue with the mobo. Does anybody know of a Gigabyte GA-8TRS350MT system that runs SuSE 9.2? I see there is a newer BIOS version out. Will give that a go. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
