 So, I would say that LILO is no longer the default installer for some
 installations of lenny.

 Do you mean Squeeze?

 Yes, Squeeze

 What if /boot is on LVM (can happen with manual partitioning)?  Grub2
 can (at least in principle) handle this, but I've never seen that in
 action.

 Probably needs to be checked..:)

Hi,

I don't know If this may help, but I can say that the thinkpad where I
tested squeeze, all the disk is a single partition defined as  LVM
volume group, and my logical volume /boot is into. D-I choosed grub2
(and worked).

Time ago, when you choosed /boot into LVM, lilo was choosed by d-i I think.

And If I don't remember bad, lilo was auto choosed in  eFi hardware
(intel iMac), but I can't say if squeeze does the same, because I need
to track stable on my imac.
