DVD install prompts for CD 1 with SATA DVD Drive

English Install/Boot/Login

Tried to install opensuse 11.0 on a system with SATA drives and a SATA DVD drive. After starting up, and before the installation kicks off, it prompts me for CD 1. Can’t seem to get past that. If I try and opensuse 10.3 DVD, everything works fine. I was able to complete my install with a Network isntallation, but was wondering why it fails with OpenSuse 11 and not 10.3. What changed? Can I fix this without a change to my hardware (ie, a boot parameter).

After the install everything operates as expected.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone? I wonder why 10.3 works and 11 doesn’t… seems like there is a change… maybe even a driver change in the disks? Think this is a bug???

Anyone? … reminds me of Faris Bueller’s day off :

Hi
At the DVD boot menu there is an options box, try


insmod=ide-generic
