I am wondering if my bug #107249 is also being caused by this.  In my
case, kernel updates have sometimes failed and have resulted in the
system presently being unbootable.

My machine, an Asus A8V, reports 4 sata drives, two on each controller.
Three of these drives are being used by linux: a bootable RAID-1 (3
disks), and a RAID-5 (3 disks) for data.  The fourth drive contains a
bootable XP partition.

If lilo depends on a consistent ordering of the four drives, is it
possible that the random reordering (as reported to linux by the bios)
could have caused lilo to attempt to update a kernel on the XP drive
instead of one from the linux array?
