When installing the Gentoo along with the RAID on a non-RAID (regular Linux) boot partition, LILO breaks - the full description could be found in this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2616062.html#2616062. GRUB, however works fine, without problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Follow the Installation handbook with the 2 harddrives 1. Run the "modprobe linear" command for the RAID support 1. On the step 4c, when creating the partition for the /root, change it to the "fd" type. 2. For the second harddrive create 2 (or) 1 partitions with the type "fd" 3. Run the command "mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0" to create a link for the RAID partition. 4. Run the command "mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid- devices=2 /dev/hda3 /dev/hdb2(1)" 5. Follow the installation handbook from the 4d, using "/dev/md0" as a root partition, instead of "/dev/hda3". 6. Try to run the "sbin/lilo". You will get an error. There is a bug filed for that. (100962) 7. Run the command "mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0" 8. Try to run /sbin/lilo. Actual Results: You will receive the error saying that lilo is available only for the RAID1 installation. Expected Results: LILO finish installation with out an error. GRUB loader works without any problem. It might not be the correct place to file the bug. Please forgive, since I just starting to work with the Linux. Thank you.
Added dependancy.
