Did you ever get a response to this (July) email? I have an IDE RAID card using the Promise set in my linux box. I was never able to get the RAID aspect to work and, reading about it, it wasn't clear that it was even worth tryin g --- several sources said that Linux s/w RAID was actually better performance than IDE RAID. Whatever. So I just treated the RAID device as two separate drives, /dev/hde and /dev/hdf. That's cool. But I can't figure out how to make LILO boot from hde. So I'm booting from floppy, which seems totally lame. Any suggestions? I've looked around at google, but most everything I find has to do with either (a) trying to make the IDE RAID device work as a RAID device (I don't care) or (b) booting from Linux s/w RAID. Thanks! R
