In order to be able to access to your IDE channels on Asus K8S-MX it is required to load the ide-generic module. Please note that once installed, you need to boot with the installation CD, use the rescue system, mount the HD where you installed Suse 9.3 (or 10.0 RC1) modify the /etc?sysconfig/kernel by adding the ide-generic module end recreating the initrd file. (It is a bug in the SUSE installation process)

Additionaly if you want to use the onboard lan card yopu need to download the sis190/191 Linux GPL driver from SiS website and recompile it. (I hope that the latter is included in next release of kernel so you don't need to do that each time you upgrade the kernel)

regards,

sis190 is for onboard ethernet card

As I mentioned the sis190/191 chipset is used for the gigabit ethernet card (on board). In order to be able to access to the IDE disk you need to recreate initrd by including the ide-generic module.

I happened to encounter this link :-
linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html


I think that is having required info about sata in LINUX.
