[opensuse] Cannot create raid 5 opensuse 10.3

I am in the process of building a new server for our small business.
The current server is running opensuse 10.2 and has 4 SATA I drives. The
first drive has /swap, /boot (ext2 50 MB) and /storage (reiserfs 75 GB).
then there are 3 80GB drives as md0 in a raid5 configuration with reiserfs.
Al of this was configured via Yast when it was set up.
The new server is basically the same, except the processor is a dual core
Opteron as opposed to single core and the drives are bigger. Drive 1 is a
320GB Western Digital Sata II drive, and drives 2 -4 are each identical
Western Digital 250GB SATA II drives.
Doing a clean install of opensuse 10.3. Again the first drive is /swap (2
GB) /boot (/ext2 50MB) and /storage (ext3 300GB or so). Drives 2-4 are md0
(460GB ext3) intended to be /
As Yast is formatting /, at the end of the process I get the following
message:
Formatting software RAID /dev/md0 (465.7 GB) with ext3
System error code was -3008
/sbin/mke2fs -O div_index -j -v /dev/md0:
mke2fs 1.40.2 (12-jul-2007)
ext2fs_mkdir: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read
while creating root dir.
I tried the installation a second time and got the identical error message.
I then tried using reiserfs instead of ext3. but got the follwoing error.
Failure occurred during following action
Mounting /dev/md0 to /
System error code was -3003
mount -t reiserfs -oacl user_xattr /dev/md0 /mnt
mount: erro wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
Motherboard is a TYAN S2925G2NR with nvidia nforce 3400 professional
northbridge and Western Digital CAviar SATA I drives, all new. I ran memtest
for about 4 hours, two complete passes and on the third with no errors prior
to installing. SMART and the BIOS all indicate the hard drives are good.
Googling on "short read" raid 5 errors and so forth didn't yield anything
useful. Any ideas would be appreciated. I could try other filesystems, or i
could try designating the RAID 5 as home. it is working fine as ? in my
current system.
