New machine:
Asus M2N-VM mobo (NVIDIA GeForce 6100 chipset) 2 WD800JD 80G SATA2 PIONEER DVD-RW SATA SuSE 10.1 (10.3 on the way, but I wanted to test the box) This thing has 4 SATA slots on the mobo. Near as I can figure it the order (when looking in the box at the board looks like 2 3 1 4 by experimentation with cables and what the BIOS says. All drives are recognized by the BIOS. Here's the problems: Only with the DVD-RW in slot 1 can SuSE figure out that the installation media is present (c.f. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CD_not_found_problem) but it *is* an SATA drive, one which works fine for installation in the machine on which I am typing this email. With the DVD-RW in slot 1, Installation begins, but the installer says it can't find any hard drives. Kernel messages show ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0) Install with "Safe Settings" didn't help. Google shows various people having similar issues, but seemingly with different motherboards. Not sure if there's a driver which needs to be loaded or what. Following url has decent-looking specs of this motherboard: http://www10.uk.shopping.com/xPF-ASUS-ASUS-M2N-VM-DH-mainboard-micro-ATX-nForce-430 Does SATA2 put me in trouble here? Thanks in advance.
