Hello Anas,

I have a strange lockup of Yast2 while writing the bootloader. It freezes
everytime at 64%. We use FSC P250 with Mylex-Raid-Controller and SLES8
here. Two disks are mirrored for the root disk (/dev/rd/c0d0). The System
is booted via PXE (works fine). As you can see in the attachment, we use
three primary partitions /, swap and the remaining space is for LVM. The
installation of the packages works fine but after that, YaST wants to
finish the installation and the screen freezes while installing the
bootmanager. However, the virtual consoles are still accessible, so I
copied some log to another host. After doing "chroot /mnt" and "lilo -v"
successfully, I rebooted the system. It booted and continued with the
Post-Install steps as if nothing happened.

Besides, how can I choose which bootloader should be installed?

lilo.conf looks fine:
boot    = /dev/rd/c0d0
change-rules
reset
read-only
menu-scheme = Wb:kw:Wb:Wb
linear
prompt
timeout = 80
message = /boot/message

  image  = /boot/vmlinuz
  label  = linux
  root   = /dev/rd/c0d0p1
  initrd = /boot/initrd
  append = " netdevice=eth0"

  image  = /boot/vmlinuz.shipped
  label  = failsafe
  root   = /dev/rd/c0d0p1
  initrd = /boot/initrd.shipped
  append = "ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal nosmp maxcpus=0 
disableapic 3  netdevice=eth0"
  optional
