SuSe 9.2 and SM 6013P-8 server


Does anyone have SuSe 9.2 Pro installed on SuperMicro 6013P-8 with dual 3.06GB Xeons, 2015S adaptec ZCR card and RAID 5 across the 3 SCSCI drives?

http://www.supermicro.com/products/s...YS-6013P-8.cfm

I've been trying to find out if SuSe9.2 is in fact compatible with this chipset (E7501). I have found some sites selling this server with either RH9 or SuSe9.2Pro as a selectable option along with the 2015S raid cards etc..that doesn't mean it all works

I'd hate to resort to FC3 or RH9..I really want the SuSe distro (2.6 kernel).

Any help, guidance would be appreciated.

Just leaving a breadcrum behind to say:

After installing the 2015S ZCR card and configuring a RAID-5 with the Adaptec utlity, the installation of SuSe9.2 went absolutely flawless. I did it by FTP so it did take a LONG time, waiting a week for the SuSe box to get here is longer though. I have done RH7 and FC1 installs before this and the SuSe has been the best by far. The YaST updater is out of this world!

I did find another person on these forums who has exact same hardware and said that SuSe9.1 did NOT recognized the RAID-5 drive on install, but that SuSe9.2 did..and this makes 2 of us.

And this SM 6013P is just breath taking coming from someone who's first server was a 1U ASRock MoBo, single CPU, with IDE drives. I knew I should have bought better to start.
