OpenSuSe 10.3 No Hard Disk Detected

[F.Zappa]

Hello,
I've been trying the last 5 days to get 10.3 to install without success.SuSe 10.2 installed just fine.I tried a normal install,all the kernel options,safe settings just about all I could think of with the same result.I've checked other forums and this seems to be a big problem with this release.I am sure it has something to do with my sata controller.I do not have a RAID ARRAY set up.Here are some specs:

Abit IT7-MAX2 Motherboard
Highpoint HPT-374 Hard Drive Controller
Samsung 120GB SATA Hard Drive
Intel 845PE Chipset
Realtek ALC-650 Audio
RTL8100B LAN
Intel P4 3.4 GHz CPU
Crucial Tech. 1.5GB (3200) DDR RAM
Support For RAID 0,1,0+1

As one can see this is not a new system and all my hardware has been supported since the 2.4.xx kernel days.I did a checksum after I downloaded and again after I burned the DVD and all was fine.Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks Frank

Hello,
I had the same problem: 10.3 couldn't detect my SATA drive even though 10.2 installed without a problem. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
