openSUSE 10.3 not detecting SATA HD

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

When I boot up the openSUSE 10.3 DVD it takes about 30 seconds or more to
load the sata_sis driver. So I'm wondering if that's broke. I've tried
acpi=off, which didn't work. I've tried turning off ACPI in bios and
acpi=off which didn't work. I tried the Kernel Safe Settings, which didn't
work. I tried brokenmodules=sata_sis, which didn't work.

I have two HD's. The primary one is PATA which is where I install the OS.
The secondary HD is a SATA which I store /home. As I write this I'm on
openSUSE 10.2 and all my hardware is working fine.

What would change in 10.3 that would make SATA all of a sudden non
responsive?

I had the same problem. The solution was: F% safesettings.

I've all ready tried that. From all the information I've gathered from
multiple sources, they're using a "state of the art" kernel. Meaning
bleeding edge. And the module for sata_sis may be broken.

Here's others having the same problem,...
