When using an Intel raid controller, you have two options: let the raid controller handle the raid, or run a linux software raid (md). If you want to run a linux software raid, and use autoyast, a prompt box will popup during the middle of the installation. This becomes a problem if you are imaging several thousand Linux systems.

Add this to your bootup options (in our case PXE config, but you can type it manually also from the installation CD prompt):

libstorage_imsm_driver=mdadm

That is all there is to it. To configure the rest of autoyast, you can check out Uwe Gansert’s website as he maintains it: http://www.suse.com/~ug/
