How Can I Install A Raid Card In Debian?

jedipi
My machine is Pentium 4 2.8C, plus a Ggigabyte 865g mother board.
Debian sarge is installed in this PC. Lilo is used as the boot loader.
This system does runs fine.

I just bought a Promise fasttrak s150 tx2+ PCI card and two 160g Hitachi DeskStar 7k250. This two new Hard Disks are for backing up the data.
After the hardwares are installed, I get into the raid card's bios and created a raid 1.

Then reboot system.
Lilo menu is shown. after press enter, system is held at "bios check".
If the two new hitachi hard disk is not attched, Debian can run just fine.

What does cause this problem?? Llilo? or bios?
The problem still exist after I disabled the IDE in mother.

Thank you.

LILO, you have completely hanged the address of the kernel by moving the disk off the IDE bus, and onto a raid controller. You need to configure lilo to boot the raid disk.

im have never used lilo, or debian, so i cant say exactly how to fix this.
you can either google for a guide on how to configure lilo to boot raid, or you can boot you r install cd in rescue mode, and if possable (its not im some distro's but is in others) jump to the end lilo install, and re-configure it automatically through th debian installer.
