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.
So this means you were able to install 10.2 on your hardware? What BIOS settings do you use? Did you disable the promise controller? Do your harddisks run in sata1 or sata2 mode?
