Basically suse does not load pata_jmicron by default, but can do so. For some reason it does not do so at all with brokenmodules=pata_jmicron

System:
Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 motherboard with a core 2 duo e6300
has a Jmicron JMB363 IDE/SATA (software raid) controller
2 serial ata hard drives on the SATA interface
a hard drive and a dvd burner on the IDE interface
and it has an ICH8 SATA controller with 2 drives on it
using a an x86 DVD even though I could use an x86_64 one


Description:
During verbose startup, it lists SATA conttoller 1 IDE
it lists ata_piix and generic for this

and Jmicron 20360/20363 AHCI controller
it lists jmicron_pata, generic, and AHCI for this

Once I go into the blue linuxrc menu, it mentions that it can't find the installation DVD.


I then observe the following things to suggest that the pata_jmicron module has not been loaded

If I check the list of drives under system information, I see all my sata hard drives from the ICH8 under the module ata_piix. I see all my sata drives from the jmb363 under the module ahci, and I see my usb drives under usb-storage. I do not see my IDE drives from the jmb363.

If I check the list of modules loaded, I do see ata_piix and ahci, but I do not see pata_jmicron

If I check the kernel messages, I see lines for ahci and ata_piix, but I do not see lines for pata_jmicron



If i then tell it to load the pata_jmicron module, it does so, but under kernel messages it says that it is not supported by novell, tainting U flag. I thought this was only done for ndiswrapper and proprietary modules?

I can however continue with setup from this point.


If I boot with brokenmodules=pata_jmicron, the module is not loaded by default, and when I go to load it, it says it fails to do so.
