The SATA controllers say:
Drivers: ata_piix, generic
Loading ata_piix, generic
The IDE controllers say:
Drivers: ahci, para_jmicron, generic
Loading ahci, para_jmicron, generic
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:

Can you explain more? Does this mean to use a special installation CD and
then some how redirect6 to a 10.2 DVD?
Thanks for your help so far

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...
