title 409285 lilo: inaccessible (patched to death)
thanks

Hello,

I can reproduce it very well. I assumed to make my raid setup work from
a rescue knoppix. What happened? It made random trouble. There was a
similar situtation where knoppix loaded a non-working driver (fix in
kernel) so ghost devices appeared. Adding the usual inaccessible
directive to lilo.conf was expected to fix the problem. What happened?
Depending on the position of this config line it either continues
claiming that it cannot read block 0 from VolumeID, or it says:

sh-3.1# lilo -v3 -r /mnt/root

Fatal: Duplicate "disk =" definition for /dev/hdg

Which is simple b.....it -- I can assure you, there are no duplicated
lines. But, oh surprise, compiling the pure upstream version makes it
happily work.
