Is it correct that Opensuse does not install on an ASUS A8V-MX with
VIA VT8251 South Bridge chipset. When I install Opensuse the SATA
drive is not recognized.
What can I do to correct this?
Thanks for your input.

Probably one of the best things you could do is stop using ASUS
products. They are very anti-Linux and from your problem, appears to
still be that way. I've noticed several Asus mobo problems of late
with users just on these mailing lists.

That's a bit radical isn't it? Engineering changes or faults don't
happen because someone is anti-Linux; they happen because of the
dreaded, and ever decreasing, "time-to-market" - for both hardware and
software developers. It takes time and effort for developers to keep up
with hardware changes.
It's like "...the integrated WiFi card on my laptop doesn't work with
Linux, that's HP's fault - they're anti-Linux-fascists! Let me go find a
screwdriver to rip it out at once..."
Not quite.
Stuff works because people spend thousands of hours writing code - so if
new stuff doesn't work, someone somewhere will have to spend hours to
make it work. Why not join in? Every bit of help will make stuff work
sooner rather than later.

And no, WiFi didn't work at first... but it's solid as a rock now. Maybe
those HP guys are not anti-Linux-fascists after all. ;-)
