Yes, that's about it. Just two points: If I understand it correctly, the SiI3114 chip doesn't know anything about the boot process -- that piece of functionality is dependent on and provided by the BIOS of the card (or motherboard). Note also that it's SiI (capital i), not Sil (lower case L). > If I create a Software raid with f.e. Debian and I decide to Dual boot into > Mandrake, Suse ... whatever should that work ? Yes, provided the other OSes know about the software RAID array you've created (so you need the kernel support, the user-space tools, and whatever user-space configuration is necessary).
