Very good point.  I shall be in touch with SuSE and let them know my
setup.  One thing I have found - and it has solved problems with other
distro's - is that my Gigabyte board with built in RAID needs to have
IDE-Reverse added to the boot up.  Otherwise it misses the first IDE
channel altogether.  The only other way around it is to disable the
two supplementary IDE channels in the BIOS which is not really a good
solution...
