[ale] SuSE woes... GRUB/No Root Partition/Can't mount RAID array

[Jeff Hubbs]

I might be misremembering the original post, but I think your livecd
needs to be able to bring up the RAID volume.  I have done this manually
under a Gentoo livecd. 

Is that the problem - that the RAID volume is not visible to you from a
liveCD?
