Package: lilo
Version: 1:23.2-4
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i patch
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Tried to use lilo on a dmraid setup after grub2 misconfigured itself beyond my
capacity to fix.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Removed all knowledge of dm-devices from lilo.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Lilo works on dm mirroring only when it doesn't know what it is.
*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
