I have problems with lilo 22.5.7-1 on Debian Woody.
Woody is running and booting from my onboard ide-controller (/dev/hda) with kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4.
My Asus A7V133 also has an onboard Promise-Controller running on RAID0, which contain a WinXP system.
When running lilo finds duplicate VolumeIDs, it is on /dev/ataraid/d0 and /dev/hde which also addresses the first disk from the raid set.
So it sees the same drive but wants different IDs for them.
I can't let lilo set a new VolumeID because Windows will refuse to boot (and ID of both devices will be changed - so it probably won't work as well).
The partitions on the raid set (/dev/hde*, /dev/hdg* and /dev/ataraid/*) are not mentioned in lilo.conf
Is there a way to hide one device to lilo? Has someone any other ideas?
some output:

LILO wants to assign a new Volume ID to this disk drive. However, changing
the Volume ID of a Windows NT, 2000, or XP boot disk is a fatal Windows error.
This caution does not apply to Windows 95 or 98, or to NT data disks.
Is the above disk an NT boot disk? [Y/n]y

I found the only information about that VolumeID thing in /usr/share/doc/lilo/README.volumeID.gz which didn't help me.
