Bug Description
On my machine the boot process stalls in initrd after a message.
"volume group "303" not found dropping to a shell"
The variable ROOT is set to "303", but one can manully mount
the real root (/dev/hda3 in my case) without any problem.
Apparently this initrd does not understand LILOs way of telling
the kernel the root device. Specifiyng explicitly "Linux root=/dev/hda3"
on the LILO boot prompt saves the situation and enables normal boot.
using linux-image-
lilo version 1:22.6.1-6.2ubuntu1 on Ubuntu breezy.

Jeff can you comment on this one? I am not even sure lilo is initramfs aware..
