Package: lilo-installer
Version: 1.20

During installation of Debian Etch, lilo-installer fails when using
/dev/ida/c0d0 (Compaq/HP SmartArray) as boot/root device.

The reason are some checks in lilo-installer.postinst that assume that
the device has to look like /dev/[hs]d[a-z].

However, SmartArray controllers use device-names like /dev/ida/c0d0
(/dev/cciss/c0d0 on Ubuntu) and partition names like /dev/ida/c0d0p1 (or
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1).

The attached patch fixes this issue.

I've also reported this bug at Ubuntu launchpad some time ago:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lilo-installer/+bug/103291

--leo

P.S.: Note that the patch only fixes installation in the MBR, installing
lilo in a partition would need further fixes.
