My ICH5R's IDE driver is not controlled by jmicron, but through the ata_piix or ata - And it controls both SATA and PATA. And yes, after the install kernel is extracted and the system is rebooted, the PATA devices will not work. The workaround for that was to add http://software.opensuse.org/download/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_10.2/ to the list of install repositories, install that kernel instead of the one contained in the openSUSE10.2 DVD. This way, if the Kernel contained in that repository solves your problem, then you're ready to roll... > If you install to a sata drive you can use the > network image from http://download.opensuse.org/ > and point installation to > http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/ > to omitt ide alltogether. > > After installation ide worked fine. > Lucky you... :) > -- > MortenB > -- Rui Santos http://www.ruisantos.com/ Veni, vidi, Linux! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
