I am having trouble installing SuSE 9.0 Pro on a brand new HP W4000 that is configured only with a S-ATA disk (120GB) attached to the motherboard. Other configuration options include 1GB ECC RAM; everything else is pretty much standard. It just doesn't want to work -- -Joaquim

That's the tricky part ;) It simply freezes. The installation begins, at the point where it detects/probes the IDE chipset, it goes away and doesn't come back. Very annoying to say the least :-) -Joaquim -- /* Free is good, Linux is better [joho] */

My onboard Silicon Image 3112A is working perfectly with two Seagate 120GB SATA drives.

The current state of SATA support leaves much to wish for :( Can you boot the rescue system? If yes, please do so and send me the output of lspci -vvx to my work address. I'll try and see what I can find out. Alternatively point your browser to http://www.suse.de/feedback and make aka bug report that includes the lspci output.

Unfortunately, I cannot get passed the S-ATA detection when I boot SuSE 9. It's rather annoying as SuSE's hardware information lists this HP workstation (HP XW4100) as being certified/compatible. I have tried "Installation - Safe mode", etc. etc. nada, no go, zip, zilch! :-( * On 2003-10-31 21:39 Philipp Thomas wrote:
