Hi,
That is not correct, lilo can deal with every disk recognised by BIOS and load a stripped kernel. Lilo's problem is to get which hardware sector and which disk to read. Disk is a known problem because of the possible remapping by the BIOS, but is there a standard way to get the hardware sector (LBA or CHS, another thread...) from the inode ?
I am really interrested by the answer, i.e. a function to call in the kernel (or to cut&paste) which works for RAID devices and preferably for different filesystem... or better a kernel request (but before 2.3).
Etienne.
