Hi,
I've got a Silicon Image 3114(u) SATA controller on my DFI nForce2 board with 2 SATA 80Gb disks connected in a raid 0 configuration. Now windows XP pro installed fine using the supplied driver but I really want to put Suse 9.0 on as well (as my other machine runs it), here's where the problems starts, run the Suse boot cd, load network module (for an ftp install from my other machine) but can't load the raid module (silraid) it says loaded ok, but then asks for parameter, which no amount of googling seems to throw up! Now in know the 2.6 kernel has better native support for SATA but the boot cd doesn't come with that (only the 64bit version has it). Does anyone know/want to make a guess at what parameters might work, if it'll work at all? (I'm currently downloading Mandrake 10.0, which has the 2.6 kernel to see if that'll work) And no I don't want to install a seperate harddisk on ide just to install Linux. Thanks!
