Personally I gave up on the Promise and opted for standard Linux software raid. It was a far simpiler option and meant that I could compile my own custom kernel without any broken module dependancies.

Which SuSE Version? Since kernel 2.4 there are Open Source Modules for "promise fake raid" called ataraid and pdcraid.
Yes, I discovered these yesterday - it's SuSE 8, and the kernel it installed (2.4.18). And it's nearly all working too, just got to fix the fs I broke fiddling with it ;)
Out of interest, why do you say 'fake raid'? I thought Promise cards actually did something plausibly comparable to real RAID..
ooohooo ... you are so wrong !!! I am having problems too. But not with the instalation but with the very low performance at high usage of processors. This means ... is in fact a software raid ... but in Promise bios :))
