Having upgraded to the latest kernel, re-installing LILO reports this:

root@phoenix:/home/jamesr# lilo
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
Added Arch *

Not critical as it doesn't break anything, just worth a mention.
