Dear All,

I'm having problem with installing latest 10.3 on motherborad with SiS 5513 chipset. Installator doesn't see my hard disk. This bug is already on the bugzilla with kernel patch attached.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331610

I was wondering is there is a way to apply this patch and build DVD iso, so installator can see my hard disk? I know SiS sucks but I have a couple of workstation using it and I want to upgrade them to 10.3 :)

Any ideas are welcome :)

Thanks in advance,

Dominik

I think a patch will eventually be offered to Yast. If you vote for this bug, it will push it higher up their 'things to do list', and I would be very grateful ;)

I'll try that after I work out two problems I've experienced on my test 
system:
1) the task bar across bottom keeps disappearing after the KDE splash screen, 
does not come back easily.
2) System does not shutdown. Bug has been reported according to Bugzilla.

My test system is older P3 866MHZ Intel board. I had shutdown problem with 
10.2 but it was apparently fixed by an update. Tried disabling ACPI and APM 
on startup but did not help on 10.3.

I will try your suggestion. My production system is a 75GB IDE, 2 320GB SATA 
drives supposed to be RAID 1 but 10.2 does not reconize the second drive. I 
think I have them on the wrong sata ports. There on 1 &2 think they need to 
be 3&4.

Thanks for your help.
