Bug Description
Binary package hint: lilo-installer
During installation of 7.04 beta, the lilo-installer fails when using /dev/cciss/c0d0 (Compaq SmartArray) as boot/root device. (This bug was already present in previous Ubuntu releases.)
The reason are some checks in lilo-installer.
However, SmartArray controllers use device-names like /dev/cciss/c0d0 and partition names like /dev/cciss/c0d0p1.
The attached patch fixes this issue.
--leo
P.S.: Note that the patch only fixes installation in the MBR, installing Lilo in a partition would need further fixes.

Suddenly I catched this bug, too.
Installing Feisty didn't let me install lilo on a cciss device.
Grub works as expected.
