Just thought I would pass this on. I just built a power machine and wanted to use RAID with SuSE. I have a SOYO SY-K7V Dragon moboard that uses the Promise chipset for the IDE controller. I was discouraged to see that SuSE support indicated that if the entire disks space was not recognized during install then the driver shipped did not support the chipset. Checking the Promise website only showed a driver for RedHat. They must have heard my cries for help because the very next day they had a driver for SuSE 7.x. Running RAID 0 with hdparms -t and -T of 64MB in 1.93 sec = 33.16 MB/sec 128MB in 0.65 sec = 196.92 MB/sec The website is: http://support.promise.com/Linux/Default.htm PCHintz
