Hi
It's been impossible for me to install the latest round of distros
(Linux Mandrake 10.1 CE, Fedora Core 3 Test 3, Ubuntu, Yoper) using an
Asus P4S800D-E Deluxe (SiS180/SiS964 chipsets) with a SATA drive.
As soon as the sata_sis module is used with kernel 2.6.8 (which all the
distros above are using with a various number of patches) the box locks
up.
If the SATA capability is disabled in the Bios (both SiS180 and SiS964)
I can install without pbm on a PATA drive.
So my question to any SuSE (Novell) people on this list looking after
the kernel is:
has the kernel/module (sata_sis) been fixed in 9.2?
Will there be a Live 9.2 CD I can try?
Thanks a lot.
