I have very similar problem - SuSE 9.2 do not recognizes SATA | hardware RAID neither on Intel 875, neither on 7220 m/b. Hi Andrei, I appreciate your feedback, but Jim's (the OP's) system prompted him to insert modules diskettes after being booted from the install CD. As I understand it, this only occurs when the boot component of the primary image is refused or unrecognized by the system. The alternates are installed on the CD for just these situations. Which of the alternates was being picked up is unclear to me -- as I haven't studied this process in detail for 9.2 yet -- but the main focus of my post was to reassure Jim (the OP) and explain this fallback installation concept to him. Thank you for paying attention, though, 'cause the more input the better under these circumstances. regards, - - Carl - -- ____________________________________________________________________ C. E.
