If you are using a system with a FastTrak S150 TX4 controller, you 
have to define even for a single disk a RAID0.

If you are installing on this system fedora (6 or higher) or rhel 5 in all
cases a new partition table has to be created and you will get 
partitions like /dev/mapper/pdc_bjfeeibeeb....

If you wish to install openSUSE on such a disk, everything will work except,
there is no boot-record written. 

Same happens on other systems, when dm-raid is used to use a RAID.

Attached error from grub.
