The situation I set up was an Intel Matrix RAID Array across 4 disks, with the first half 465.8GB RAID0 named VolumeA and the second half 465.7GB RAID0 named Volume1. During installation: Could not create any partitions on Volume1. VolumeA worked fine and installation proceeded accordingly. See y2logs5.tgz. After Installation: Could not create any partitions on Volume1. See y2logs6.tgz. After Patch: Partitions created on Volume1. Patch successful. See y2logs7.tgz. It appears that the patch works perfectly! BTW, something you might note in y2logs7 is an odd occurrance I've noticed after partitioning the RAID array. It appears as if the RAID controller is writing partition data or some other form of metadata to the MBR area of the first hard drive in the array, sda. Since SUSE not only looks at the MBR of the array but also of the member hard drives, it finds this data in sda but can't make any sense of it. The data doesn't match sda's parameters. So, it pops up an error stating that the partitioning data for sda doesn't make any sense. As far as I can tell, the only other side effect is some odd read/write errors that flash by during boot time, but it doesn't prevent the OS from installing, doesn't prevent partitioning of the array, doesn't even really slow down the boot sequence, the errors fly by so fast. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing super important to me, but I thought I would point it out in case you wanted to hammer it out for the next revision cycle or point it out to the proper authorities for whichever component it involves.
