My raid install of sarge used grub.  Why ever would you want it to use
lilo?

No clue about XFS.  I stopped using it after all the bugs it had in 2.6

Neither LVM nor raid (although maybe /boot on LVM would be a problem)
should have a problem with grub.

Or does grub behave that differently on amd64 that it can't support md
raid1 like it does on i386?
