I'm not sure who's at fault here. But it seems it's lilo or
lilo-installer as you suggested, as a new install under VirtualBox
didn't demonstrated this problem and LILO was installed fine.
However, the installed system failed to boot. LILO started booting
the kernel and, just after the message "Booting the kernel", lots of
"BUG: unable to handle the kernel" messages where displayed.
Attached you can see the gziped syslog from the install under
VirtualBox, after using "set -x" at the top of lilo-installer's postinst
(file named syslog.virtualbox.gz) and the screenshot from LILO booting
the installed system under VirtualBox and displaying the "BUG: unable to
handle the kernel" messages (file named
virtualbox-xfs-on-root-install.png).
Also, I ran a new install under KVM using "set -x" at the top of
lilo-installer's postint, as you requested. The log is attached (and
gziped) and it's named syslog.kvm.gz.
For your reference, the red screen which appears when the error
happens is the one being displayed at the file attached and named
kvm-xfs-on-root-install.png.
