no, as I said it's a hosting provider. He gives my a box from his own
stock, an openSUSE working default install, and I manage the box.

I don't know why this box don't works with grub, but making tests is
extremely boring, when the box don't start I have to log on a recovery
boot (after claiming a special pass). Not ideal for tracking bugs.

As this provider also gives patched kernel images to boot with
(netboot), having lilo is not really a problem.

I have no idea of what he will do if extX become obsolete, but for now
I have only 250Gb disk :-)

that said, if I can give you some hint from a running server, I ready
to do (but not to reboot the server twice a day :-))
