Yesterday I wanted to install 10.2 on my AMD64 desktop computer. But the installation hangs while initializing the hardware. More precisely when initializing the sata_promise module. With kernel-parameter 'brokenmodules=sata_promise' the installation continues, but this of course makes my harddisks unusable since they do not get detected.
I have found bug 227428 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227428) which sounds similar to my problem, but obviously sata seams to be a more general problem in 10.2. Should I open another bug-report or are you already working on that?

Is there a workaround so I can install 10.2? Can I modify the DVD or the install-cd to get a working kernel onto the boot media?
I have the same mainboard as you, but I've always just used the sata channels on the other (via8237?) controller. FWIW Fedora Core 6 and Kubuntu Edgy also choke on this hardware.
