SCSI RAID?

[Andor Demarteau]

this ain't scsi but IDE-raid controler.

You may be able to resize partitions to maek room for linux. Can't say.
However, it strongly depends on what type of RAID is used (RIAD 0 or
RAID1) what your options are.

Splitting the disks to get 2 seperate disks is probably quite difficult
and also not what you want.
