Does this mean you have multiple computers all identical, all with this
controller, all dual booting Windows and Linux? This is a strange
setup. Why do you do this?

Would you find it surprising that LSI never considered this $600
Enterprise 8 port RAID controller would be used in a dual boot
workstation role, with 4 SSDs in two RAID1 sets?
My guess is that this is a Grub2 issue and it's having trouble seeing
both disk devices as enumerated by the UEFI implementation.
What happens when you create a 4 SSD RAID10 and partition the resulting
single disk device into two equal halves, one partition for SuSE and one
for Windows? With everything on one disk device this should work much
more reliably.
