Hi all, Has anyone successfully installed SuSE 8.1 on a ECS L7VTA mainboard. This board has an integrated promise fasttrak 'Lite' controller. I have 2 x IBM 40Gig drives hung off this. There is a AMD XP 2000+ CPU, 256Mb DDR, SiS 6326 video card and a creative 12x DVD drive. I am getting an error on initial booting with the DVD as follows: VP_IDE: Unknown VIA SouthBridge, contact Vojtech Pavlik vojtech@ucw.cz The system just hangs there. I have tried safe install but nothing seems to work. Any help appreciated. Regards, Keith Gibbons

Start by cross refing the compatibility chart. The problem isn't your IDE hardware it's your Chipset. You need a boot disk that supports this. Start with the compatibility chart. though
