I have a system I'm trying out gentoo on, it have a raid5 setup (s/w)I had a similar problem when installing on an IDE raid0 (pdcraid) box. I believe there are two possibilities:
I have got to the installing of lilo but having chrooted to setup
everthing lilo cannot see the /dev/md0 device ! what is the correct way around this ? can I just cross mount /dev ?
* Make a lilo boot floppy. Use this to boot into your real system, where you will have a real /dev . Re-emerge lilo (not sure if this is necessary), check your lilo.conf and install properly. Reboot again just to make sure it worked. I believe that this was what the Install Guide recommended (this was a while back...).
* Exit your chroot. mount -obind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev . Re-enter your chroot. You now have the same /dev as the install CD, so hopefully lilo will be happy. I did it this way because I didn't have a floppy drive handy.
