If you are not using RAID, then you can disable RAID autodetection at boot time. Simply pass these parameters into the kernel at boot time:

raid=noautodetect

With LILO, this can be achieved by adding the "append" option in the Linux partition sections, for example:

# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-huge-smp-3.2.13-smp
  root = /dev/sda3
  label = Slackware
  append = "raid=noautodetect"
  read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends 

If you want to set the "append" option for all partition sections, then set this option globally, at the beginning of the file.
