Try again using a volume that is less than 2TB in size and see if it makes a difference?
Just found in the 3ware manual: "Even though the Linux 2.6 kernel supports partitions larger than 2 TB, the installers for SuSE and Redhat do not. Turn auto-carving on to prevent the installation from failing." Well, it's actually not the installer, but anyways, I'll give it a try and then give you a feedback! I don't really need partitions > 2TB.
That's exactly how I just solved the issue - in the 3ware BIOS I defined a bootable device of 50GB for the base system and the rest was carved by auto-carving into chunks of 1024 GB. Works like a charm! Thanks for your hints! cu Michael
