I got my config working with
Raid 0 (Using an nforce 4 chipset so it is software with bios authentification
raid)
This is the howto I used with some modifications to adapt it to Suse, my config and without boot partition as I didn't want to do one :

(I use a patch you can have with the Tutorial I gave, and had to force the major and minor numbers of the linuxrc. Also recompile the kernel with nv sata driver and device mapper module as statically)
My working device.map : (looks weird as it has nothing specific with
raid 0, i needed to force the number of sectors and other stuff to get it work without using a boot partition)
Code:
(hd2) /dev/sda
(hd3) /dev/sdc
(hd1) /dev/sdb
(hd0) /dev/hda
Good luck helping other people !
Cordially,
