SuSE Linux: Version 7.2
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux.
Therefore some of the informations given in this article may
be outdated or the article may contain stale links.
Although a complete installation is not necessary for using SuSE Linux 7.2 Live Evaluation CD, the configuration options defined during the first CD start are stored as files on the first detected DOS/Windows partition in the first hard disk.
This may cause data loss if this disk is configured as a RAID array with another hard disk through a IDE RAID controller (e.g. Promise Fasttrak100 and Abit KT7 Mainboards with integrated RAID controller). Linux does not support the RAID functionalities of this controller and detects the hard disks as separated drives. That is why files are stored on a hard disk only, what may cause data loss.
Therefore, please do not use SuSE Linux Live-Eval, if you already use the RAID functionalities of this controller.
We apologize for this inconvenience. Thanks to Mr. Hornberger for reporting this problem.
