I am having a problem installing with the XFS 1.0.1. installer to a RAID5

LILO hangs LI

My system is a SuperMicro server with ServerWorks HE chipset, one SCSI HDD
on channel A and Mylex card at PCI slot 4. All partitions
(/,/boot,/var,/home) are formatted XFS, swap is on /dev/sda. If I install
the entire system on /dev/sda, I have no problems.

You will have to flip the LBA addressing switch back and forth to see if it is correct. If your lilo.conf has the linear option included you might try removing it and running lilo again.

It has to do with the LBA translation or lack of it. Sometimes it is also called Large disk support or something to do with DOS.
