- Setup:
- ASUS M5A97 R2.0
- 3x SSDs (2x 256G ADATA in BIOS RAID, 1x 120G Samsung)
- Situation:
- I have created a bios raid 0 on my 256G SSDs and installed and successfully booted windows 7 64 Ultimate from them
- After that I have installed Slackware 14.2_64 on the third SSD, also works correctly.
- I want to dualboot Slackware and windows (either lilo or grub)
- I've tried it with lilo, generated my modified united.gz (installed dmraid onto Slackware which detected the raid array correctly, was able to mount the /dev/mapper/pdc_gibberishp2 partition as raid0 NTFS disk and do all filesystem operations), created my own vmlinuz-generic-4.4.14 image and my lilo booted the Slackware correctly but when I was trying to add the raid into lilo.cfg after the lilo command it returned "fatal error : unable to use nonlinear device" or something on that context
- so I tried again with grub, after 2 hours of tinkering I got nowhere (I'm not familiar with grub)
- Summary:
- I would be incredibly glad if someone could point me in a way (much more grateful for step-by-step guide as my head is already spinning from all the manuals and forums) and help me to get the lilo to dualboot my OSes
- (256G are in bios raid 0 [dmraid detected it as a Promise FastTrack] , 120G ext4 is a standalone disk with MBR and /boot on it)
- P.s.: Also please take it easy on me, this is my first post on these forums. I read this site quite a bit and created an account just to be able to ask this question as I'm desperate and broken mentally from this raid voodoo
