Hello,
first of all i have a running gentoo on an ide (hda) and i installed there the whole thing ( bootstarpped all)
The firrt problem arised was that grub did not worked
even the unmasked 0.92 version. It found alllways the right hd.
enerting Setup with TAB showed the right values abut pushing ENTTER left an error message "device not ...." Something like that.
Ok so far. Then I uses lilo and it works.
Now I have compiled the module for the Hardware raid and also made an inintrd which is working. Now trying to get this just for the RAID without the hda it fails. I had to use lilo again. But Lilo shows at the startup only L1 and then write 01 01 01 01 01 ....
over the whole screen and thats it. Grub does not work either. What can I do with lilo ?
I have used the dha like an iso and chrootet then to the raid.
Boot without the hda - the Raid is a bootable harddisk... Any help is welcome :-)

Posting your lilo.conf might help us help you. Also post more info in the hardaware the disks layout (e.g: hdg and hdf are for the raid).
