Bug#322037: Sarge installer sometimes do not know how to install lilo
package: installation-reports
The following combinations cause LILO installation to fail. (using expert26)
1.
/ on /dev/md0
/boot on /dev/hda1
lilo.conf is correct, but the installation fails. One can install lilo
from the chroot on the second console and finish the installation as if
there were no boot loader. Reboot OK.
2.
/ on /dev/md0
/boot on /dev/md1
The options presented by the lilo instaler are wrong, lilo.conf is wrong.
(/dev/md1 suplied instead of /dev/hda) Lilo installation fails. It is
possible to rectify the situation in chroot on the second console again.
Looks like the sarge installer lack some necessary code.
