When installing SuSE 8.0 pro, things go bad when configured as a raid cluster.

When partitioning the raid cluster (/dev/ataraid/d0) somehow the new partitiontable fails to sync to the disks. It is written to the disks, but not refreshed for the OS, which results in a failure to format the partitions.

Rebooting the machine AFTER having partitioned the raid-cluster (and the errors that formatting failed) and restarting the installationprocess using the partitions as layd out in the previous install-run, results in a successfull install.

Yes thats the current fix. Thats a known "bug" rather a missing features in the ataraid / pdcraid kernel modules. They are ot able to tell the kernel that the normal devices the raid is build from, like hdg and hdg, are not available anymore. We hope they will soon.
