I'm getting confused now. lilo didn't work, I removed /dev/md-* and it did work. After a reboot lilo didn't work anymore... This is tested on two machines, lilo 22.7.3 and 22.6.1.
both machines: 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP, udev 0.103-1 lilo -t -v -v LILO version 22.7.3 (test mode), Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger Development beyond version 21 Copyright (C) 1999-2006 John Coffman Released 11-Aug-2006, and compiled at 23:12:34 on Dec 20 2006 Debian GNU/Linux Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed raid_setup returns offset = 00000000 ndisk = 0 BIOS VolumeID Device Reading boot sector from /dev/sda pf_hard_disk_scan: ndevs=2 0800 FFFFFFFF /dev/sda 0810 273A7578 /dev/sdb device codes (user assigned pf) = 0 device codes (user assigned) = 0 device codes (BIOS assigned) = 3 device codes (canonical) = 3 device-mapper: table ioctl failed: No such device or address Fatal: device-mapper: dm_task_run(DM_DEVICE_TABLE) failed I have added a strace from both machines as attachement.
