Any ideas? My hunch is that the udev aliases might not yet
exist at the time they are being referenced. But that's just
a wild guess at this point. The thing is though, it works fine
for the -5 kern
UUID=5019cd9d-5d2e-4d7c-a6f4-0eccb5144c77"
So, you're saying that UUIDs are supported for root, but not for boot.
That means that you can boot either kernel (2.6.32-3 or 2.6.32-5),
but running lilo's map installer will fail if you use
boot=/dev/sda on the 2.6.32-3 kernel and

Oops! That should read "convert from grub (version 1) to lilo&qu

that specifically explains how to convert from grub-pc to lilo.
Yes, I know you are running Squeeze, not Lenny; but those instructions
will work with Squeeze too, provided you use only stock kernels.
If you want to roll your own kernel, you really should read the whole
document.

2.6.32-3-686, using lilo, *without* the large-memory option, and it
