You need to fix lilo to not assume the names listet in /proc/partitions are actual device files. In 2.5.69 there's a bug that it prints truncated devfs names instead of traditional device names as it should, but relying on the names to mean anything is broken - that kernel can't enforce the device names used.

The following patch that is in Linus BK tree should get it working for you again for now..

Great ;-)

I'll compil with your patch: thank you very much,

Grégoire
