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?
