Hi,

When I start lilo, I've the following warning mesage:

Reading boot sector from /dev/hda
Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
    Name change: '/dev/lvma' -> '/dev/vg00/root_lv'
    Name change: '/dev/lvmb' -> '/dev/vg00/var_lv'
    Name change: '/dev/lvmc' -> '/dev/vg00/usr_lv'
    Name change: '/dev/lvmd' -> '/dev/vg00/home_lv'
    Name change: '/dev/lvme' -> '/dev/vg00/opt_lv'


The /proc/partitions is:
major minor  #blocks  name

  58     0    1048576 lvma
  58     1    1572864 lvmb
  58     2   10485760 lvmc
  58     3    3145728 lvmd
  58     4    1572864 lvme
   3     0   30029328 hda
   3     1      16033 hda1
   3     2   28057522 hda2
   3     3    1951897 hda3
   3    64   29316672 hdb
   3    65    4883728 hdb1
   3    66   17583142 hdb2
   3    67    1951897 hdb3
   3    68    4891792 hdb4

This seems to be harmless. What does /proc/partitions does not reflect  
the real ones?
