Hi,
I'm trying to install OpenSUSE 1.3 on a HP dx2255
desktop:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12724_div/12724_div.HTML

It has a TSSTcorp (Samsung) DVD-writer.

After booting the install kernel, it does not find the
dvd drive ("Could not find the openSUSE Repository").

Are there special driver parameters I need to pass to
the libata, pata_via or sata_via kernel modules (or
general kernel parameters I need to set) for the
install kernel to recognize the dvd/cd drive?

Any help is appreciated.

thanks!

Seems the problem has migrated from Blue White 64 Linux the 64 bit Slackware
distro i had to give up on it because of that sefl same problem could not
sort it out then best of luck ..

I will be watching with interest .


I was / am using an Compaq Presario V5030 with the same DVD drive in it .
having said that it is now running Opensuse 10.3 GM with very few updates
on it i have learnt the hard way not to trust updates till someone else has
ironed out the killers ..
