Raid, reiserfs

Is anyone running software Raid 1 on SuSE 7.1 with reiserfs formatting? I cannot seem to get the Raid to work with this new kernel even after following the how-to. The only difference is I am using reiserfs instead of ext2. Thanks,

I'm trying to install a system with an ancient, low-grade monitor.

Is there some way that I can get some sort of text-based install, rather than a GUI/"pretty" one??????

I can't see a bleedin' thing after it starts to go through the INIT process. AURGH!
