I think not, but hard to test - it only occurs when booting the install DVD, default is to load pata_via after (correctly) detecting the mobo. The fix that you reference is to use a different kernel, but I don't feel like trying to modify the DVD to do so - too much of a challenge! I'll wait and see what the Novell / OpenSuSE team think next week, but my guess is a bug in the installer which loads the wrong module. Of course it's just possibly a bug in the module itself, maybe triggered by two discs of different DMA rate capability. -- Regards, Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
