I've tried various combinations of brokenmodules to force certain modules not to be loaded
Any other ideas?
Not sure how to do what you suggest re:
If it still doesn't work, try to install openSUSE10.2 with openSUSE's 10.3 alpha installation CD. Then just add a recent kernel from SUSE HEAD repository.
Can you explain more? Does this mean to use a special installation CD and then some how redirect6 to a 10.2 DVD?
Yes. That was the only way I managed to install openSUSE... I also had a problem with the ata_piix driver recognizing my PATA devices with my ICH5R. I booted with openSUSE 10.3 alpha 2 CD1, and performed an NFS installation. I know you need a second machine for this. You could also copy your openSUSE 10.2 DVD to your harddrive, and boot with an HDD install - I've never done this but, it should work. The openSUSE 10.3 alpha CD is just to ensure that you have the 2.6.21-rcx kernel... It's the latest one, and they might have corrected your possible bug. PS: If you boot with 'manual=1', are you able to see your DVD Writer? ( Guide yourself through the menus to get that hardware information ).
Thanks for your help so far
No problem :)

Probably your DVD is not being recognized by that current Kernel Driver.
Do you have your IDE BIOS settings at Compatible/Legacy mode ? If so, try to switch it to AHCI/Enhanced...
Also, if you boot to your installation system with 'splash=verbose' you can watch witch drivers are loaded to you IDE controller. If you look at something like:
drivers, piix, ata_piix. etc... loading piix
try to pass the option bronkenmodules=piix at boot. This way the driver loaded will be the ata_piix.
If it still doesn't work, try to install openSUSE10.2 with openSUSE's 10.3 alpha installation CD. Then just add a recent kernel from SUSE HEAD repository.
Hope it helps you...

I've tried to install SUSE 10.1 from a DVD without success.
The PC boots up from the DVD without a problem. However when I select
the
Installation option it says its cant find CD number 1. I guess it's a problem with the device driver - or the correct one not being loaded.
Any one got any ideas how to get around this?
Which is your motherboard ? Or Chipset...
