I had a working Windows installation on the RAID0 volume, with 30Gb free unpartitioned space to install linux, and a RAID1 volume with data. I booted the mandriva livecd to try it, and dmraid worked after "dmraid -ay", I could access the raid volumes. Then I worked in ms windows and everything was all right. I then booted the opensuse livecd. As the installer did not recognize my raid arrays directly, I did "dmraid -ay" in a root terminal, that gave me the errors. I then rebooted and the intel raid bios said the raid0 failed and the raid1 degraded, so it rebooted to repair and finally said the disks were offline.
