chad,
Here is what I got from suse:
This does not directly reference HDs, but might offer some insight to
SATA. This
is an extract from the 9.3 Release_notes.
SATA CD and DVD Devices (ROMs and Writers)
The Linux kernel driver support for these devices is experimental.
To activate CD-ROM SATA support on the desktop remove these lines in
/usr/share/hal/fdi/90defaultpolicy/storage-policy.fdi:
<!-- temporary disable polling on SATA devices to avoid a kernel crash -->
<merge key="storage.media_check_enabled" type="bool">false</merge>
Too bad I don't grasp what they are talking about. Suse does have the
2.6 kernal, however. You would think that these people would know what
is supported and what is not. I may try the live cd and see what happens.
