Now the bootloader defaulted to Lilo while on a normal install it defaults to Grub.
Please...could there be any reason for that.
Being a Grubby ...tried and was able to make a grub install and booting.
To my knowledge it seems that lilo is more "RAID friendly" than grub. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, a working configuration of grub + RAID would be great. The official Linux software RAID howto seems to hint towards using lilo as well..
That is fairly current on it's face, but I wonder about that particular section's age. Grub hasn't been the bootloader of choice for very long, and it's development is proceeding nicely. AFAIK, old lilo isn't seeing a lot of development.
