Hi,
I have got an INITIO 9100 UW SCSI Controller with an IBM
IC35L036UWD210-0 scsi hard disk on a 32 bit x86 system.
Currently i have SUSE 10.1 (Kernel 2.6.16).

I tried to install OpenSUSE 10.3 (kernel 2.6.22.5) and the latest
OpenSUSE 11.0 Alpha 0 (kernel 2.6.24-rc4) but although the initio
driver
gets loaded during the installation process, yast reports that no hard
disk is found. I believe that this isnt a bug in suse's yast but a
problem
in the initio scsi driver because i also tried to install Fedora 8
(kernel 2.6.23) with the same problem.
I have seen the relevant thread "Conflict when loading initio driver"
and i suppose that the initio driver isnt fixed yet.
I can help testing the new patches in the initio driver if someone is
interested.

initio doesn't seem to have a maintainer...

Are you able to identify any earlier kernel which worked OK?

Maybe it's a new device? If you can get the `lspci -vvxx' output
for that device we can take a look.
