chance to run the BIOS Setup on the Maschine.

You can then access it by pressing F10 when the cursor flashes in the
upper right hand corner of the screen, just before it boots. It will
then boot from the diagnostics partition.

You probably wiped the partition when you installed SuSE, so you'll need
to boot from the SmartStart CD to access the setup utility.

first of all, thank you for the hint about the smartStart. These days
im crawling the web about, an finding a lot of information. Now i can
(re)configurate the "smart" partitions. I find also info on the
Suse/Novell website about this.
Some problems are still there, but for this time i can boot from a
Floppy to give Yast the bootpartition on a IDE drive manualy.
Im testing varios configurations to boot in future from the SCSI Array.

My Problems

1. I can create the RAID Arrays > 4 Drives to 1 Logical Drive or 4
Drives to 4 Logical Drives (all i want). That works fine. But on
SystemStart, after initialling the Controller, the SCSI Controller
finding Logical Devices but doesent find any SCSI Drives.

2. After that i try to boot from a internal IDE Drive (hda). Installing
Suse 9.0 works fine. But Suse cant boot from the Drive. i always must
set the boot partition manual to hda2. And the Suse boot.
Suse tell on the german support database that LILO must set to the root
partion. i do so. But it doesent work.

Thanks for help
