Lenny's debian-installer installs Lilo when using lvm
Hi all
I did a quick search in the bug reports (don't have much time now)
and didn't find the exactly same problem I'm having with the newest
debian-installer. On an Acer Travelmate 6292 I just bought, I created a
big partition occuping the whole disk and created a lvm volume group
with 3 lvm logical volumes (swap, root and home). At the end of the
install process, I can only install Lilo as boot loader, Grub doesn't
appear as an option. The problem is that the system is taking too long
to boot (it stays at least half a minute on the stage where lilo tries
to load the kernel). It's a long time ago since I used lilo for the last
time, and I really don't need to leave grub at this moment, since I'm
really confortable with it. So, should the debian-installer behave like
that? Btw, I tried to install the system both with the lenny Beta2 image
and the weekly build from 25-Aug-08 (the newest). Also tried removing
all dash symbols from the lvm names (there was a bug report that related
this too a problem with grub), it didn't work. Now I simply installed
the system without LVM and Grub is working as expected. Any ideas?
Should I fill a bug report (never did that before)?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo
