Are you sure that the problem is XFS? It could also be that lilo does not support KVM's /dev/vda. That would be my first guess. If that is the case, the next question is whether the problem is in lilo-installer or lilo itself. Can you repeat the installation with a 'set -x' added in lilo-installer's postinst and send the resulting syslog? Could you maybe also try / on XFS in an emulator (qemu, virtualbox or vmware), i.e. on a "normal" hard disk? Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
