Hi,

When I boot the machine, BIOS reports the harddisk is there as only
harddisk being on 2nd IDE Master. When the DVD then checks for the
presence of a harddisk, it says "No harddisk found". Anyone with a clue?

Thanks.

OK, just tested with Fedora 7 DVD: finds the harddisk just fine. So
what's the trick with openSuse 10.3?

try kernel parameter 'pci=nomsi' as stated here:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=300001

for me, it was successfull with 10.3; without this parameter, I had a
"no harddisk" message...
