These links may help you with your driver problem: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2007-05/msg06964.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2007-04/msg00978.html The SUSE folks seem to think passing 'brokenmodules=it821x' or 'brokenmodules=it821x, pata_it821x' might work with the DVD install.
