How exatly does one figure that out? If it has the Jmicron thing?
I run in problems with SuSE 10.2 and the ASUS P5K motherboard. Here my
notes I made at that time how I got it running:

Install notes for OpenSuSE 10.2 on a PC with Asus P5B / P5K / P5K-E board.

Possible problem with "Install-CD not found".

Load the BIOS, pressing DEL just after power it on. Somewhere in the BIOS
setup there should be an option for the JMicron drive controller("Onboard
Devices" in the P5B BIOS menu). Set it to AHCI mode. Save and exit with
F10.

Re-start the installation process adding in the first boot menu the boot
option:
insmod=ide-generic insmod=pata_jmicron

As of the JMicron chip: there should be an entry in the BIOS.

Stephan.
