Re: [linux-lvm] Lilo Defvs and Root Raid1, Having trouble booting

[Steven Dake <sdake@mvista.com>]

did you set the first partition on target 0:9, 0:10, 1:9, 1:10 to 
bootable (fdisk 'a' command) and did you set the RAID partitions type to 
RAID artostart (fdisk 't' command set to 0xfd).

Make sure you have the correct MBR on your disk with the lilo -M command 
to write the MBR to 0:9 0:10 1:9 1:10.  

You could also post your lilo.conf so we can verify you have it 
specified properly.

Give those a try.
Thanks
