Yep. Does it happen a lot?
A lot, no. Now and then. About once a week, maybe less, maybe more, I haven't counted. There is a forum dedicated to install, boot and login problems, so we do see a lot more questions than you get in the mail lists. Over 20 thousand questions in two years in this subforum alone.
Also, there are the people with EFI and/or GPT partitions...
Do they cause any issues? (the partitions, not the people). About a year ago, I remember testing a WD 3Tb disk, GPT required, worked well with lilo.
Yes.
