I was going to add a new entry in lilo boot:

aemaeth ~ # lilo -v
LILO version 22.7, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger

Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
    Name change: '/dev/dm-0' -> '/dev/vg/homelv'

Fatal: open /dev/sdd: No such file or directory

sdd{,1,2} belong to a removable device and are listed 
in /proc/partitions but remapped to /dev/mobile%n 
via /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules; /dev/mobile1 is a partition 
encrypted by dm-crypt as /dev/mapper/hidmo.
Lilo encounter this fatal error even before /dev/mapper/hidmo is 
created.
LVM mapping stems just warnings, so this problem has definitely to do 
with cryptography, never had a blocking problem with lilo before.

Lilo fatal error is resolved unplugging the removable device, but i 
guess there's a "software" solution to this "double mapping" issue.
Any comments?

Thanks
