Hi,

I made a Slackware 10.0 installation with XFS filesystem and setup
all the partitions software raid (/dev/md0, etc...).

Everything works fine, except that I cannot make LILO boot the md0
partition (not /dev/hda or /dev/hdc).

Most documents I've found googling suggest to write boot = /dev/md0
to lilo.conf which tells LILO to use the superblock on the disk.
Unfortunately XFS uses that superblock so it cannot be written by
Lilo.

If I use boot = /dev/hda, LILO successfully boots the system but in
that case if /dev/hda fails, the system cannot boot /dev/hdc directly.
Something like boot=dev/md does not work out.

Is there a way to install LILO for a multiple device using XFS
filesystem?

I know I can try GRUB, but I prefer LILO both because it's out of the
box with Slackware and I am accustomed to it.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Doruk
