RAID and Dual Boot Install
I am trying to install debian on a system that already contains windows XP
on a raid 0 partition. I've got some difficult hardware so bare with me on
this.
My motherboard is a nforce4 chipset and I have two disk, sda and sdb, which
are configured in a raid 0 array through the nvraid bios. I have a single
partition(NTFS) which occupies ~40GB and I would like to install debian in
the remaining space.
The debian installer finds my disks okay but doesn't recognize the raid.(I
really didn't expect it do so) I've gotten knoppix to boot with the same
outcome. The question is how do I get debian to recognize the disk setup.
I have read about "dmraid" which doesn't seem to be available in debian.
Can I do this with existing debian tools or should I get another hard disk?
I welcome doc/how-to/RTFM's on this...Thanks
Possible useful output..additional specs/info can be provided upon request
