Hi Eduard,

I gather that you're using devfs here. Although it seems that mounting
devfs gives me a system without /dev/lvm, nevertheless running lilo -t -v 3
here on an all-LVM system doesn't give me the errors you describe. Can you
reproduce this problem on your own system when running lilo -t -v 3, or does
it only manifest when not in test mode?

You comment in the bug report that this is grave because the bootloader is
screwed up in the process. Did lilo actually overwrite the MBR, in spite of
the LVM errors? Or was this error caused by the reshuffling of /boot files
between the woody and sarge versions of lilo? lilo could run without the
'|| true' on install to make the errors more apparent; I'm just not sure if
this is the most appropriate fix.

Cheers,
