Oops I see that I did not reply to the list..
I did some more searching and found some information on the hardware involved.
The SATA chipset is a Silicon Image SiL 3112A and the Harddrives are two Seagate Baracuda ST380011A drives.
From some postings on the mailing list, there are problems when you combine the SiL SATA and Seagate drives.
I found a possible solution that suggest that you add the drive model to the blacklist in the SiL driver code. I did that and compiled a kernel, but it still does not work.
I did the installation and kernel compiling by installing the one disk in one of my own boxes that use VIA SATA chipset. No problems there.
At this stage is looks like we will have to stay with SuSE 9.1 on the box.
I could not find any other solutions.
PS: I discovered now that the drives are ATA/100, not SATA, so I don't know if the SATA chipset is the problem, or can it still affect it. I disabled SATA and it still gives the same problem.

Perhaps it helps you... (would be nice if you let us know).

Just curious Richard, but how is an Nvidia Nforce3 chipset SATA driver going to help him with a Silicon Image chipset? :-) just wondering, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
