Is there a yum way of installing lilo? Will it work with
the devicemapper?
(assumption is no)
As long a LILO can boot the kernel off /boot and /boot is a Linux or MDRAID partition all the device-mapper related stuff will be done within the initrd.
As far as mirrored /boot is concerned, if LILO is set to look in that partition and it's file system is ext2/3 it can grab the kernel file. It's read-only during boot and the mdraid meta-data is kept at the end of the partition, so it should look and behave as a normal ext file system.
My /boot is just a plain jane ext3, first problem overted...
Thanks
