    Hello guys,,, I'm trying to install on a server SuSE 9.2, but the RAID
    Controller Card it's an Intel SRCU31L and it seems that the Driver Module
    for that Card had being removed from the SuSE Kernel to "save" space.... so
    the SuSE installer didn't detect any Disk at the RAID controller Card.

    I found that installing on a IDE Disk after all the installation it's done,
    I can see the RAID Array...

    I know that I can use dd to pass the IDE (hda) partitions to the SCSI Raid
    Array Disk (/dev/i2o/scd) but what else do I need to modify ? Grub (which
    config files) ? Fstab ? any other stuff because the new change of the name
    of the devices in order to pass all of the OS to the IDE disk to the SCSI
    Raid Array one ?

    Note: I also try to load at the booting time the Intel Driver but it said
    that was for Red Hat 6.2 and after it has being loaded it didn't detect any
    Disk on the RAID Controller Card.

    Thanks
