Ok, after having tested most of those spells with 2.4 kernel headers by
accident, i now ran all tests again and fixed some compile problems.
parted still doesn't compile, no idea why, the rest works.
lilo has one caveat: it won't be able to boot from lvm devices if
compiled with 2.6 kernel headers, as the 2.6 kernel doesn't have a lvm.h
header.
All of this is in test and devel and should be safe to use (this time
really :)
