I have checked the 32 Bit Version of openSuSE 10.3 with SiS965 chipset, it works. The sata_sis driver tries to load the pata_sis driver. but SuSE 10.3 tries to load the sis5513 before. pata_sis and sis5513 are trying to serve the same hardware. may be this affects a conflict. please try boot option brokenmodules=sis5513 You can also try to boot with brokenmodules=sis5513,pata_sis,sata_sis Then you must load later the modules pata_sis and sata_sis in this order. regards Uwe Nathaniel Dube wrote: > I found your contact information in the file.. > > /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.8-0.5/drivers/ata/sata_sis.c > > And figured you might be the one to talk to.
