I try to install lilo on /dev/sdb and choose to boot linux from BIOS boot menu as most posts state that lilo can handle LDM partitions.
But when executing lilo I get the “Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x000e (NFS/RAID mirror down?)” message.
I also tried using root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-… instead /dev/sdb1 but without any luck. I have opted for openSUSE as it’s kernel is supposed to support partitions on dynamic discs right away…

Umm, is there a reason you are using lilo and not the native grub?
Does grub not work with dynamic disks?
