That should not happen. There is an exception for dmraid devices, which apparently no longer works. From the output you provide the reason seems to be that partitions are now created as <dmraid dev>p<partition nr>. The problem is the "p" between the device and the partition number which AFAICT did not use to be there before. This makes the "isinstallable" test fail for grub-instaoller. I would not be surprised if this would make other changes necessary too. First thing that needs to be determined is what exactly has changed to add this "p". Is it a change in dmraid, or in libparted, or elsewhere? When we know that we can check where changes are needed. Do you have any idea yourself where this "p" comes from? > lilo-installaer wants to install lilo in a bad partition, > /dev/mapper/sil_aiahbgbgaaajp1 , but the correct is > /dev/mapper/sil_aiahbgbgaaaj1 dmraid has never been tested with lilo, so this is not very surprising. I'm reassigning this issue to partman-dmraid as that is the most specific component for dmraid support, even though most needed changes will probably be in grub-installer.
