Only for hardware RAID. Software RAID looks quite different to the OS and
there are still some minor quirks in getting it working for boot devices.
One of which is that for LILO you need the MBR to be provided by the
debian-mbr program and have the LILO block inside the RAID, as well as having
identical block numbers in both disks in the RAID-1 (RAID-5 and RAID-0 is not
supported).
LVM should work with LILO, whether it's a good idea is an entirely separate
issue.
