I've never done IDE RAID, so perhaps i'm way off base here. Are you sure its not supposed to work this way? Is the problem that you can't install Linux like this, or can't get a preinstalled version to boot?So did you change anything in its BIOS?
No, but I have delved into what is happening and its wierd. Lets take windows first with raid enabled: its XP pro.
It boots and allocates primary master with C and D partitions. Then it allocated the raid drive as G. Then the two
dvd drives, ones a burner as E & F.
Linux will not boot at all in this state but will when I disable raid on the MB.
It comes up with the following drive configuration when raid is enabled:
hdd = raid drive
hde = primary master
hdf = Samsung dvd reader
hdg = Secondary master
hdh = Dvd Burner
hda, hdc do not appear at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now it cannot be bios otherwise windows would exhibit the same problem but it does not, so what is there that causes
linux to differ ???
