Install 10.0 onto Areca RAID controller?

I am trying to install SuSE 10.0 x86_64 on a Supermicro H8DCE dual Opteron system with an Areca/Tekram 1220 PCIe RAID controller installed. The installer appears to find the Areca controller. When I go to installer expert mode the Areca is listed and details seem correct. The installation fails, however, because no drives are detected. The Areca does have a RAID set configured (via it's BIOS). Is there a trick? Thanks R.Parr, RCHE, Temporal Arts
