The question (not my answer!!) was why is it complicate to boot fom a
lv. Ans i anserwed that lilo cant do that at this point of time!
I also pointed to an advanced problem (the striping) so it should
be clear thats not only a thing of a "simple" patch in lilo.
My itention was to show WHY theere are a lot of problems for getting
linux to boot from "any" lv.

Me to. A small /boot does not need to be striped. In the near time it
also need to be lv controlled...

Yes, but we should also explain (or show) restrictions to our collegs on
