It can't handle booting off 1.x superblocks nor RAID-[56] >(not that I could really hope for the latter). If the superblock is at the end (which is the case for 0.90 and 1.0), then the offsets for a specific block on /dev/mdX match the ones for /dev/sda, so it should be "easy" to use lilo on 1.0 too, no? (Yes, it will not work with 1.1 or 1.2.) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
