I'm having a new computer, the motherboard is Gigabyte 8knxp,
and I have 2 Maxtor Diamondmax 9 120Gb sata drives with it. I'm using striping with Intel ICH5R raid controller.
I've installed Windows XP on it, but I can't install Suse Linux 8.2, it don't recognise the hard drives.

I read that the newest kernel prepatches support this controller. How could I use this kernel with Suse Linux(I have an older computer with Suse 8.2 installed)?
