          Platform: Other

suse 10.3 alpha 1 64 bit

mobo: asus a8n32-sli

drive: sata wd raptors (74gb versions), in raid 0

sata connector on mobo: nforce4 / silicone graphics / nv raid

setup runs perfectly until right after all of the packages finally install.

(of course getting to this point takes a full hour)

at this point it attempts to install grub which always fails with:

grub error:
stage2 .. and .. dmraid
grub> setup --stage2=boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (/dec/hda,1)
Error 23: Error while parsing number
grub> quit

lilo was also attempted but also fails to install.
