Description Andrew Horoszczak 2008-04-23 14:48:55 UTC

After default kernel image selection (pressing enter)
kernel decompressed and initial loading proceeded fine - until:

several messages:
- drive not ready yet

and than finally
failed to detect CD drive

since (gnome suse11B1) CD boots fine on other machine (Dell)
i suspect the problem with sata connection
(currently on this HP machine I have Fedora 8 and Suse 10.3 working fine)

however i tried two different drives
- original HP ligtscribe DVD model
and 
LG DVD writer model SH-S203

the motherboard has no PATA connectors at all (only four SATA) - maybe this is a problem ?

this hp chipset is based on intel Q965
model specs: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetDocument.aspx?docid=0900a5a5816778f6&cc=th&lc=en

perhaps a similar bug is:

I do not know how to pass (with this beta) options to kernel because when i type linux [enter] it fails to load

please boot http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/boot/boot.iso and see if you can get a hwinfo --cdrom out of the rescue system.
