> LILO prints "L", followed by the number "07" which seems to repeat endlessly. I think, D-I will face the same problem with any boot loader, sooner or later. If the disk presentation of the kernel differs from that used by BIOS/DOS, even Grub is doomed to fail. Is there any effort to make Grub/Lilo/Syslinux to tell its (read: BIOS) view of the disks/geometries to the kernel, so we can use this in D-I to make the boot-loaders configuration right? Imagine, we have Grub as loader for D-I. On boot, it gives the kernel a parameter like hdconf=0x80=serial-nr,0x81=serial-nr,... etc, so we can scan the devices with hdparm later and compare them with hdparm's output (or something similar for scsi).
