Hi,

This is probably a question for a linux forum but I have been on slackwarehelp.org for a while and they can't find the answer. As I got my motherboard/drive from overclockers, I thought I'd ask.

I have XP working fine with my setup but I have added a second IDE drive with SLAM64 linux which works OK with the AMD motherboard. I am trying to create a multiboot bootloader using a linux program called lilo.
I need to find out if there is a way for linux to see the SATA drive before it arrives at the boot screen,

I had to install software raid drivers when I set up XP with the SATA drive which came on the Motherboard CD.


Motherboard is
ASUS K8S-MX

and in the bios currently

1st Drive is HDD P M Maxtor 6Y06 (IDE) (linux)
2nd Drive is Raid Samsung HD080 (Windows XP)

If I swap the boot order it boots straight into windows XP but if I swap the order then boots the other drive and I only see linux as an available operating system.

Any ideas?
