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.
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.
