as far as i know (and experienced) you have to partition your raid - hdd`s into at least two partitions. one for windass and one for linux ( - / )
suse will install a boot-loader, but i don`t know if it will recognize yours on the raid, so install it, but not into the mbr (master-boot-record)
it will ask you so , during installation.
you have to find out yourself if suse-installation-wizzard will read your raid propperly, some do, some don`t.
if it says something like: unknown or unreadable partition-table, then you better stay away from it.
install linux on your IDE-hd - better anyway.
and keep win on the raid.
by the way, to partition the raid hdd`s it`s best to do it before a win.-install, using the win-cd.
partition magic can sometimes drive you crazy.
the whole thing is not very common, so messing with raid is always a challange ............. cheeeers
