Back in the early days of 10.3, there was a problem with the kernel not supporting SATA drives with certain chipsets (SiS, in my case). At the time, this effectively hosed my SATA based LVM array, but I installed instead onto an IDE drive, re-installed my /home from backups, and waited until the bug was fixed so I can now use my SATA drives. No more LVM, though :( Has this bug been completely eliminated in the 11.0 kernel? IOW, will I be able to boot to a SATA drive, and throw away my IDE drive, or will I still have to have /boot on the IDE drive? -- Bob Registered Linux User #463880 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default, KDE 3.5.7 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This should apply to the 11.0 kernel. http://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Hardware%2C_driver_status Be sure to look at the matrix at the end. http://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Hardware%2C_driver_status#Driver.2Ffeat...

I have been running 11.0 all versions up to 11.0 beta 3 with no problems. I have the SIS chipset on an ASUS p4s800d-e motherboard. RC1 is due soon. I did have problems with 10.3 but they were corrected by installing 10.3 using the following kernel: 2.6.22.18-SL103_BRANCH_20080221152521-default. It took some special steps on installation but it works. Hope this helps you. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Many thanks, Russ, and to Greg. That's reassuring.
