After reading a lot of the failure reports and noise.
Are the available distributions what we are going to live with for the
immediate future?
When I read the release notes for SL 5.4 there is no mention of the S ATA
problem or it being fixed.
NVidea problems I had with SL 5.3 can be taken care of by disabling the video
module at install and boot up and just set the desired display resolution.
Thank for tip from a SL user.
When I tried to install SL 5.3 on 64 bit system with Serial ATA disks. The
installation just hangs. I have Suse 11. on this system but really would
like to use SL. Suse 11.1 - 11.3 has the same NVidea problem.
The ISO images for SL 5.4 were down loaded a few weeks ago and I wonder if
its worth the effort to make the disks and install SL 5.4. since the release
notes never said any thing about the SATA interface or at least I didn't find
it.
