Not sure that it matters, but I was using 7.1 to install. Also tried Mandrake 8.0 with Reiser. Here is what would happen: 1)I created the array using the IBM software on the hardware level. 2)Reboot and start the Suse install. 3)Choose custom disk partitions and made this configuration: /boot-ext2 swap /usr-Resier /var-Resier /home-Resier About 10 minutes into the install the machine would freeze and not even the ctrl-alt-bkspace would recover the machine. Attempt the install again and use ext2 file system for above config, all was ok. I need smaller file blocks since this machine will be a web server. The default 4k block would chew up the drive with those small php and html files. Just for fun I did try this on all three Netfinity machines and no luck.
