I add one thing about this: I'm giving a look at
debian-installer/packages/arch/i386/lilo-installer/debian/postinst and=20
if I've understood correctly, it is the postinst script that sets up lilo.

Well, I think it cannot work as it is with xfs on a md device. When you=20
install lilo on an md device with xfs you have to pass this option to=20
lilo.conf:

raid-extra-boot=3Dmbr-only

Suppose yo've got a root device /dev/md0 and a boot device /dev/md1 .=20
lilo.conf has to be written this way:

boot=3D/dev/md1
raid-extra-boot=3Dmbr-only
root=3D/dev/md0

In this way lilo will be installed on all the mbr of the devices that=20
compose /dev/md1. If you don't pass raid-extra-boot the installation=20
with xfs will fail (you can give a look at lilo's doc for the=20
description of the problem).

I can try and provide a patch for it, but I'd need help to check if it=20
is correct and to try it (I don't know how to build the installer form=20
the sources making an iso to burn).

Please contact me and I'll help you. :-)
