I'm the not-so-proud owner of an Abit KT7A-RAID. It has plauged me since the day I purchased it with instability and poor disk IO performance. It uses the Via KT133A chipset, which guarantees you many headaches if you plan to use an SBLive with it. Both Via and Creative admit that a problem exists between them, but neither company accepts responsibility. Search groups.google.com for kt7a and sblive if you don't trust my advice alone.
There is an excellent KT7 FAQ at: http://www.viahardware.com/faq/kt7/kt7faq.htm
And a KG7 FAQ here (I know nothing about the KG7): http://www.viahardware.com/faq/kg7kr7/kg7kr7faq.htm
I'm not sure about SuSE 7.3, but the stock 7.1 2.4.0 kernel had no support for the Via KT133A...this may be something to look into as well.
I'm not doing very well tonight. %-) I should have said that the KG7 is on my
shortlist. This seems to have ironed out many of the problems associated with
the KT7. Thanks for the links.
