Hi Recently I installed openSUSE 10.2 on my (Intel P3) laptop. Everything went fine and I'm really happy with this version of openSUSE (compared to 10.1 :-)).
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 also tried to disable the promise controller in the BIOS and use only the sata-via controller, which is also present on my mainboard (MSI Neo 2) and I also tried to set the sata-harddisk to SATA 1 mode by setting a jumper. Neither of it helped. I remember in openSUSE Beta1 the sata_promise module worked fine. 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?
