SATA Optical Drive Support in SUSE Linux
SUSE
®
Linux Enterprise Server 10 Service Pack 1 does not support internal
SATA optical drives on systems with more than 4 GB of system memory.
The SATA optical drive connected to the SATA controller is not recognized
during and after installation because of an issue with the sata_nv driver. A fix
for this issue will be available in a future service pack.
To work around this issue, you must
load the
sata_nv
driver with the
adma
mode disabled during boot-up.
Add the following text to the kernel line in the /boot/grup/menu.1st file
sata_nv.adma=0
The following is an example of the menu.1st file:
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 vga=0x317
resuem=/dev/sda1 splash=silent showopts
sata_nv.adma=0
initrd /boot/initrd
