What appears to me to be the same problem has been reported a number of times:

Motherboard: ASUS M2V - uses JMicron JMB360 as PATA controller https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227505 Opened December 10, status "New" Olaf Amm wrote: > I have an ASUS P5B with JMicron controller.

I also have an ASUS P5B Deluxe and reported the same problem work-around here on 23 November (at the time I was unaware of the prior history of this bug). If the JMicron is set to "IDE" in the P5B BIOS, the pata_jmicron driver is not loaded and the install halts with "Make sure that CD1 is in your drive." Backing up in the text install and manually loading pata_jmicron allows the install to proceed. However, if the JMicron is set to "AHCI" in the P5B BIOS, the same procedure (manually loading pata_jmicron) results in the install message: "Insert nil CD1" during the "initializing catalogs" stage. I have not found a work-around to get past this point. After aborting, looking at the installed drivers shows pata_jmicron is still installed. Why does the install program suddenly fail to see that CD1 is in the drive? Installing from the same CDs using a SCSI optical disk succeeds, and the PATA optical drive is accessible with the P5B BIOS set to "AHCI" for the JMicron. I sent email to the assignee (Steffen Winterfeldt) for the "new" bug, but have not received a response. Suggestions on how to proceed to finally get this old problem fixed are welcomed. -rex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
