libata is always "installed" as it comes with the kernel...the OP is confusing hardware raid ( a fake raid to be precise) with software raid.
My recommendation is, disable the "hardware raid" in the BIOS because it is NOT a real hardware RAID,in plain old english it is a piece of crap attached to your mainboard nicely promoted by the marketing department of the the motherboard vendor,to which you shouldn't trust your data.
After that use software raid in userspace.
Cheers.
That was already pointed out. But disabling hardware raid might not be wise, as you will probably lose all the data on the device, as I also pointed out.
Never the less, its not clear why Knopix could see it and not Opensuse, and it is still not clear from his posting if Opensuse saw the device at all. It might have shown it as a single disk drive, which is not all that uncommon with hardware raid, or even fakeraid.
Well, all the drives with all their partitions are recognized by both knoppix and opensuse. Eg looking at /dev/disks/by-id directory. The problem is that the raid set is not detected in openSUSE. The two drives which has the raid set is visible, and I can mount them. (I mount them only as read-only filesystems as I do not want to make any change and ruin the raid array) I have one IDE drive (primary master in BIOS) with the OS (oS 11.2) and the two SATA drives connected to the SiI 3512 PCI card (in the BIOS this is a 'SiI mirrored set'). Knoppix assigns the drives as: IDE primary master: /dev/sdc SATA 0: /dev/sda SATA 1: /dev/sdb openSUSE assigns differently: IDE primary master: /dev/sda SATA 0: /dev/sdb SATA 1: /dev/sdc I don't know why the two systems assigns the drives differently and if it has to do anything with the recognition of the raid set.
