Hello

I have a RAID0 array on my SIL3112 controller.
Linux installed perfectly and everything was looking good until Lilo decided
to make trouble.
As far as I can read from the documentation and other sources on the
internet lilo and RAID0 is impossible.
My question is:
How do I easily dual-boot between windows and linux without the use of boot
disks?

Thanks
Morten

It's not lilo that is the problem. But the Si3112a support. Current
support if you are using kernel 2.4.2[3-5] will recognize the controller
but does not support the RAID functionality. I don't know about the 2.6
series of kernels.

If the windows is using raid and slack isn't? Sorry, never did figure it
out the few days I had to play with one.

It *does* support RAID, how on earth would I be able to partitionize it
without support? ;o)

It works with 2.4.25 I've written how to install it with the
slackware-current iso in a thread or two above this one.
Both Windows and Linux are on the same RAID array, just different partitions
:-)
