Hi,

I just received some IBM x346 and I have the same problem. Once I enabled
HostRaid I cannot install or run SuSE 9.2.

I went to the IBM site, to the Adaptec site as well as the SuSE site and I
 did not find drivers specifically for SuSE 9.2 Pro, I did however find
 drivers for SLES 9.

Will these work for SuSE 9.2 Pro? If not, is there a solution for this
problem? Can anybody help!!!

Clemente
