Hi,
I am having a problem installing openSuse (suse 10 OSS) on one of my
machines, the other installations went fine (so I know the disks work
and I
am not a complete novice at this).
The machine that suse won't install on, is an Asus Pundit AS with the
SiS651 chipset, a MAXTOR 80GB HDD, Celeron-D 2.8GHz ... I boot off the
installation CD, and when it gets to the part in installation called
"Analysing the Computer", it errors with the following message:
Error
No hard disks were found for the installation.
Please check your hardware!
I know my hard disk is there, and it is still mountable in knoppix, I
have
tried formatting it, I have tried installing with ACPI off, and in safe
mode and with insmod=ide-generic, all to no avail. Does anyone know
what is
going on here, is it the sis5513 module not recognising my chipset?
I also notice the following errors in other terminals
linux kernel: hda: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady
SeekComplete
Error }
linux kernel: hda: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
linux kernel: hda: failed opcode was: 0xea
linux kernel: hda: wcache flush failed!
There doesn't appear to be a problem physically, because I have since
installed knoppix and can use the drive just fine, but I want to clean
install openSuse on this machine.
Please if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful

In Fedora, if we have drive problems we feed it the command nodma just
before installation. How to do in Suse I don't know.
If Knoppix will read it , it has to be something in Suse.
