Should the following be possible:
make a raid-1 with 2 disks, on top of that put lvm and after that create some filesystems in the volume group.
I especially wonder about the lvm on top of the raid. I tried to do that with yast, but yast does not seem to be able to do that.
I can configure the raid, I can go to create lvm -> but it shows the only the physical devices and not the raid. Is this a limit in yast? Is there a workaround?

The short answer is ... yes. You don't say which version of SuSE you are using. I was very happy to see the 9.3 installer handle this perfectly. In previous versions it would switch the boot loader to Lilo and/or have trouble with this combination. I would set this up manually using a method I've posted here in the past. When you created the RAID device, did you format it (you shouldn't)? If the RAID device is unformated and unmounted, the Yast LVM module should show it as a usable device. This does all work through Yast. -- Louis Richards
