[opensuse] Asus P4P800 ( ICH5R ) problem when installing openSUSE 10.2
Hi all, Hope someone can help me: I own a P4P800 Deluxe, with a ICH5R chipset, a DVD+-RW Drive ( PATA ) and a HD ( SATA ). When I select the install option, upon booting from the dvd, a while later appears a message that says that it cannot find the dvd. Also, the manual installation program claims that it cannot find any dvd/cd-rom. The HD is detected though... What can I do solve this. I'm running SuSE 10.1 like a charm...

Hi again, I was able to solve the problem installing by NFS. The only way I found to get the DVD-RW running, is by inserting the ide-generic module into the initrd. The problem is that there is no UDMA capabilities. I've even compiled a 2.6.19.1 kernel, but had the same result. Isn't there anyone out there that has successfully installed openSUSE 10.2 on a board that has the ICH5, and has a SATA HD and a PATA DVD-RW? I could use some assistance on how te hardware/bios is set up.

Hi, I now know how to solve this. This is a kernel bug introduced on kernel 2.6.17 and, it was only solved on 2.6.20. The kernel at http://software.opensuse.org/download/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_10.2/ can be used to correct this. At last, I will install openSUSE 10.2 on my home machine. Rui Santos Rui Santos wrote:
