Description Forgotten User AYtk8U4hnh 2005-10-17 18:06:59 UTC 
I run into problems trying to install SuSE 10.0 - both Vendor DVD as well as     
SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-i386-GM-CD1.iso.     
    
Hardware: Asus P5AD2 Premium, Pentium 4 3.2 GHz    
SATA:     3 discs, DVD Plextor PX-712A    
IDE:      DVD Plextor PX-716A    
SCSI:     Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter, DAT+Exabyte tape    
USB:      some hubs, HP 970cxi Printer, ext. HP DAT-72 tape, all switched off    
additional sound card + TV card    
    
No difference whether I run a regular install, failsafe or ACPI disabled the    
minikernel is loaded and starts to boot up to "searching for info file".    
    
The last kernel message is...    
Assertion failed! qc->flags &    
ATA_QCLFAG_ACTIVE,rivers/scsi/libata-core.c,ata_qc_complete,line=3218    
    
Obviously the scsi driver is unhappy...    
   
Seems to be my specific hardware that causes the trouble.   
   
I will attach...   
hwinfo.txt (generated by the running SuSE 9.3)  
boot.msg   (generated by the running SuSE 9.3)  
assertion.png - a screenshot (digital camera) showing the kernel messages  
... at least if I manage to figure out how to attach additional info.

I have the same Problem, so I can´t use SUSE on my Machine.
When I connect my Plextor PX-716SA (Serial-ATA!) I get always this error, when I disconnect the device from Mainboard, there´s no Problem. I hope this Infos will help.

Winfried, can you try the kernel rpm from 10.1?
Comment 6 Forgotten User AYtk8U4hnh 2006-03-01 00:47:02 UTC 
Hi there,

  sorry for the delay, I was absent for several weeks. Back home, I was sick :-(

I grabbed the SUSE-Linux-10.1-beta4 CDs - worked fine!
To be precise: The installation did not hang as it did before - the problem seems to be SOLVED. 

But I stopped testing on seeing the installation suggestions (disk partitioning, package selection and so on). I did not do an actual installation because I this is a production machine. So I want to wait for the "beta" to disappear.

Is this a problem for you? 
If so, I would install the beta release, do some tests, and boot my running 9.3 after that.

Thanks!
Kind regards,
Winfried
