lilo - Promise SATA Raid


Everything works, but I'm unable to run 'lilo' anymore.
It says:
Fatal: Device 0x0801: Maximum number of sectors is 63, not 194

What's wrong .....

Promise is a little sketchy on their support for linux, but here is the source code/readme that might help. I apologize but I have not experience with SATA raid. I do know that you need to put in about 3 lines into lilo to get parallel ATA raid to work with their drivers. Other than that, I'm afraid I'm of no help.. sorry.

I've tried also GRUB. grub-install /dev/sda says "/dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive"

I have 60GB WD and 80 GB Maxtor disks in the mirror array. Could this be the point of failure ? [Geometry, ...]
