README.raid from lilo-22.5.9 (the latest version) states:
"Only RAID1 is supported. LILO may be used to boot a system containing other RAID level partitions, but it may not be installed on any RAID partition other than RAID level 1."
so I don't believe you. You may be confusing "booting off RAID-5" with "having a RAID-5 root".
Hmm, I'm not sure how to convince you :-)
The only possibility I can think of is that the lilos.conf's raid-extra-boot= -line affects the booting, thus it's silently booting from /dev/hdX and not from /dev/md0. I'm not sure how to test this though.
