Hi,

A copy of the errormessages before "attempt to kill init" would be quite 
helpful :-)

  I had to do another run on a different server so the results were slightly
different from my memory, the results where the same:

Ext3-fs: unable to read superblock
mount: wrong fs type /dev2/root xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
cramfs: wrong magic
mount: wrong fs type /dev2/root xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
warning: can't open mtab
pivot_root: no such file or directory
/sbin/init: 107: cannot open /dev/console no such file
kernel panic: attempt to kill init!

Also, a copy of lilo's output when you install it might help.

dev3:~$ mount -text3 /dev/md0 /mnt
dev3:~$ lilo -r /mnt

  With boot and root set to /dev/md0.  Output line was as you expect (e.g.
installing to /dev/md0 etc. etc.  said it installed ok) however this was the
penultimate line:

Unexpected dirty buffer encountered at do_get_write_access:613 (09:00
blocknr 0)


Any help appreciated.
