The support Matrix shows you need to look at this customer advisory if you're using SLES11 SP1 and download the appropriate kISO image from the link provided in the advisory

SLES11 SP3 does not require the kISO image

The kernel in SLES 11 SP1 doesn't have the required drivers fro the Smart Array controller. You need to boot from the kISO image instead of the SLES11 SP1 media. Booting from the kIO media will start the SUSE installation process. During the installation you will be prompted to insert the SP1 media. During the intallation process the kernel from the kISO media will be installed to your disk, along with the required updated drivers.
