Hi, Hearing the discussion about whether LILO should stay in Debian, I started to wonder whether adding LVM support to EXTLINUX was possible. That's the main selling point of LILO, as far as I know. And GRUB2 already has a module for parsing LVM metadata: http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/grub2/disk/lvm.c?root=grub&view=log Couldn't we somehow incorporate it? -- Cheers, Feri.
