Is it correct that Opensuse does not install on an ASUS A8V-MX with VIA VT8251 South Bridge chipset. When I install Opensuse the SATA drive is not recognized.
What can I do to correct this? Thanks for your input.

Probably one of the best things you could do is stop using ASUS products. They are very anti-Linux and from your problem, appears to still be that way. I've noticed several Asus mobo problems of late with users just on these mailing lists.

That's a bit radical isn't it? Engineering changes or faults don't happen because someone is anti-Linux; they happen because of the dreaded, and ever decreasing, "time-to-market" - for both hardware and software developers. It takes time and effort for developers to keep up with hardware changes. It's like "...the integrated WiFi card on my laptop doesn't work with Linux, that's HP's fault - they're anti-Linux-fascists! Let me go find a screwdriver to rip it out at once..." Not quite. Stuff works because people spend thousands of hours writing code - so if new stuff doesn't work, someone somewhere will have to spend hours to make it work. Why not join in? Every bit of help will make stuff work sooner rather than later. *Hang onto your ASUS mobo, hang onto your favourite Linux distro... you will not be dissapointed. * And no, WiFi didn't work at first... but it's solid as a rock now. Maybe those HP guys are not anti-Linux-fascists after all. ;-) Hasta la Vista®, Carlos Lozano --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
