SuSE 10.1 installer cannot see SATA drives on nVidia controller


I'm inching ever closer to the end of my tether

I'll spare you all the backstory but basically I tried installing XP, Vista & SuSE onto a RAID 0 array running off a Silicon Image 3114 controller - SuSE didn't like it (fakeRAID), neither did Vista or some other applications so I ditched it, assuming that a straight-up install onto a SATA drive would go flawlessly.

Motherboard: ASUS K8N4E-Deluxe
Drive(s): 2x 250GB Samsung Spinpoint P120s
Controller: nVidia 4-4X
RAID features: Disabled

XP and Vista have installed flawlessly onto the drives, seeing them without even having to provide drivers at the F6 prompt as I had to with RAID.

However SuSE installer says it cannot find any drives. I'm a complete novice at this, but poking around in the installer doesn't yield any answers.
As far as the installer is concerned, I have no drives hooked up to the system.

I'm attempting to boot this alongside XP and Vista so that I can learn more about it, but right now I'm just getting more and more frustrated!
Googling has turned up nothing of use

Friday morning bump ..
Is this going to be one of those weird unsolvable problems? I haven't had any response from the Linux forum on ArsTechnica either
