SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server may not install successfully with Intel®
Embedded Server RAID Technology II enabled
Problem
If SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server is being installed with Intel
Server RAID Technology II enabled, the RAID array may not be detected after
the driver is loaded, which results in an installation failure.

in an installation failure.
Status
Users cannot load a third-party RAID driver and the AHCI driver simultaneously
in SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server. Doing so may cause installation failures.
Workaround

installation. At the very first install screen, press F6 to load a driver. In the text
tab, type
This allows the installation to complete successfully.
