After upgrading from SUSE 10.1 to openSUSE 10.3 I'm experiencing system freezes when reading data from the secondary IDE channel.

I suspect one of your problems is that (by default) 10.3 has problems with some CD / DVD players that somehow impacts HDD is the system. (ie. ATAPI devices).
See Novell Bugzilla 331610 for a little of the history. And when its fixed, I suspect that bugzilla will get updated.
Until then, I would try to use the traditional ide drivers. The 10.3 release notes tell you how to invoke them instead of the new ones that 10.3 defaults to.
Thank you for pointing my attention to the libata problem. Indeed when I start the Live CD with 'hwprobe=-modules.pata' no system freeze will occur. Apparently this boot parameter has no effect on an already installed system. So if anybody knows how to disable libata without to reinstall, please tell me. I don't want to reinstall openSUSE 10.3 because the last time I went through the installation procedure one of my partitions was cleared from all data... I also added my report to Novell's Bugzilla where someone had already described the same problem: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336063 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
