I've just finished installing Suse9.0 Pro AMD64 onto a PATA drive and all went well other than I would like to use a 2x SATA 160 Segate as a raid on either the VIA8237 or the Promise 20378 that are on this board. Only problem is that nothing from either of the SATA chipsets shows up during the boot. I've been looking for the location of the 2.6 kernel on the DVDs but (probably because I'm being stupid) am unable to find it,
They should be somewhere in Kraxel's ftp-dir. Kraxel, what is the correct path?
That was the info I have been waiting for.... I have a MSI K8T myself, but have not been able to find a suitable module for the VT8237. As far as I am informed (I asked for it on this list some time ago) there is no proper support yet for both of the SATA chips... Maybe A. Jäger can correct me (And I hope he does :-), maybe the named Kraxel has written a module, I am eagerly waiting for it...) To Gareth: Btw: Do yourself a favour and update your BIOS to V 1.10 and use the VIA-Controller for SATA. I have had lots of problems with the Promise (even with the new BIOS)... Bye Andy
