Because the support has been moved dmraid, yes.
The kernel clearly does support ich7 otherwise it wouldn't have been able to write the files or read them for that matter. There's an ext3 driver available for windoze now so it's easy to check if one is dual booting. In that case they are being read via the intel ich7 bios.
Grub comes up with a numerical error which strongly suggests that it's been told to do something stupid. It to must make use of bios calls.
Quite probably, yes. Why don't you just write the bug report and see what happens? You've got debug output from GRUB which is a place to start. No I haven't. I have re installed with none raided discs and problems at least 3 times since then. No grub debug.
The install partitioner maps the drives twice. Once to devicemapper and then again to individual discs. Confusing or what? Partitions are only mapped to device mapper though which I suppose helps.
Another bug report I think. Unless your BIOS presents the disks both as individuals and as a RAID'ed array. Thanks for helping with the bug report. The duplicate discs had the same id's.
All sounds like stinking fish to me. This is an installer problem.
Report it. Provide the diags. Help improve openSUSE.
