both lilo and grub can boot the root filesystem as a logical volume.

but grub cannot boot /boot from a logical volume.
With lilo it can either be a separate lv, a partition, a disk, what you  
what. With grub it should be outside of the logical volume manager  
(IIRC, there is a patch for grub to use /boot on a LV but I've never  
found/tried it)
