Hi,
I tried to install openSuSE 12.1 on an INTEL-System together with ADAPTEC 1430 Raid-Controller.
For this purpose I build using the ADAPTEC-Tools an RAID 10 of 4 1TB Hartddisks I initilized and made the RAID bootabel wir the ADAPTEC-Tools.
After booting from the 64bit-Installation-DVD the RAID is shown with the wrong capacity of about 1 TB (instead of about 2 TB).
An try of installation results after some minutes in a full stop with blinking SHIFT an SCROLL leds. Mainswitch is the only way.
I planed to use ex4. Who now wat happend and what is to do?

I cannot help you with your RAID questions, but the stop with the leds blinking
is a kernel panic. I would guess that the 1430 is not commonly used and that
there is a driver bug.
To figure out what happened, you should switch to the logging console by using
CTRL-ALT-F10 while the system is working, and then wait for the crash. At that
point, you should photograph the screen, or copy what you see by hand. Normally,
I would have you file a bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org, but that site is
down. You should upload the photo to susepaste.org and include that link and any
other info to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. If it worked on a previous version
of Linux, then note that it is a regression.
