In lilo.conf:
root="UUID=77ae4251-631f-4656-a365-c5723f5c5da8"

image=/boot/2.6.28-4
label=2.6.28-4
read-only
root="UUID=77ae4251-631f-4656-a365-c5723f5c5da8"

The /etc/fstab entry works, but not the LILO one.

Also I found a bug (OOPS) with a box I was testing the new subsystem
(SATA vs. old IDE) with, will send a bug report shortly.

Justin.
