grub is more capable and user friendly than lilo.
It actualy works nice here with reiserfs in twelve servers (for the
idiots that think reiserfs doesn't have to be included in the kernel
this is a serious complain, all good admins have take a look @ reiserfs,
i just remember when ext2 generates massive fs curruption like 3 years
ago on two of our servers and yes ext2 was IN the kernel).
