Funny - I had a promise ataraid installation that no version of lilo could boot. Tried grub once and it worked. Since then I avoid lilo. However, we are now talking about md devices. Unfortunately I have no idea how grub behaves there but I heard that a new grub is able to handle that without problems. Testing grub is always easy. Simply use a grub boot floppy from somewhere and try to boot your kernel from there. If it works, it also should when installing grub to harddisk. Carl-Daniel
