Hello, I have install SuSE Linux 7.2 and IBM ServerRAID SCSI 160 on a X-Series 230. But when I have lunch the installation with the first CD, YAST2 say's what i don't have any disk, because the RaidControler wasn't recognized. The test was the same with the boot floppy. I have create my own boot floppy module to lunch the detection of the RaidControler. It's depend of the kind of RaidControler. Regards.

With a machine with only a RAID configured array, if I am running Yast2, how do I get the installer to ask me to provide the AMI raid drivers? I think I can get the compiled drivers, but what is the method to load them with no linux currently running?
This should be automatic and be treated like any other SCSI card during the install. How Linux will see it depends upon the array, for example Raid 1 you will see only 1 drive.
Have you tried the installer? You can go through this and see if it even sees the drives. You should not need to do anything more, unless you have an old BIOS revision and newer device drivers.
That's right, you should be able to boot from the first CD-ROM. YaST2 should detect the RAID controller and tell you what drive(s) are available.
