Title:
  Installer doesn't warn about unbootable config (/boot on LVM)

Status in “partman-lvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Installed 5.04 in expert mode, with the LVM installer-module enabled.
  Placed /boot on a logical volume, and installed. LILO failed to boot
  the system (stuck at "Loading linux...............................").

  I suspect the problem is that LILO (and probably GRUB as well)
  doesn't support booting from a logical volume. If that's the case,
  it would be nice to have the installer warn the user when he
  attempts to put /boot on a logical volume.
