Additional Information

When trying to create an image from an Fujitsu/Siemens ESPRIMO P5600 and ESPRIMO E5600 workstation, it fails. The reason for that is that hard drive of these type of workstations are not recognized.

The root cause for that problem is that the new SiS 965L/SiS 761 southbridge comes with a new SATA controller that has the device ID of 0x182. The driver which is included in the kernel with ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Sp2 and ZENworks 7 Desktop Management is not able to load the correct driver.
