Information Update Memory Module Installation Guidelines The following information updates the memory module installation guidelines. • If only DIMM_1 is installed in your system, its capacity must be 512 MB or 1 GB. A single 2-GB DIMM installation is not supported. SATA Optical Drive Support in SUSE Linux SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 10 Service Pack 1 does not support internal SATA optical drives on systems with more than 4 GB of system memory. The SATA optical drive connected to the SATA controller is not recognized during and after installation because of an issue with the sata_nv driver. A fix for this issue will be available in a future service pack. To work around this issue, you must load the sata_nv driver with the adma mode disabled during boot-up. Add the following text to the kernel line in the /boot/grup/menu.1st file sata_nv.adma=0 The following is an example of the menu.1st file: root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 vga=0x317 resuem=/dev/sda1 splash=silent showopts sata_nv.adma=0 initrd /boot/initrd May 2008
