no, problem have all bootloader which doesn't know about LVM...this is lilo or
any windows bootloader. If you really want boot from logical partition, you can
select custom partition. Also if you select boot from boot partition, this
should work, but maybe it is changed because some user goes to problems. It is
always choice between experienced users and beginners. Current gui doesn't
allow better control for experienced, we plan change it in next release (11.2).
Jozo answer about be careful is that we doesn't support that this always work,
especially due to newbies, which doesn't configure chainloader in another
bootloader to switch to this bootloader on logical partition. Fix is that it
writes to extended partition which see also another bootloader, but it have
another problem, that if this place share more bootloaders (you have OSS11.0
and 11.1 on same LVM) it rewrite this place (so you sometime see first and
sometime second).
If you have more questions how work booting from logical partition, I think
mailing list is preferred way.
