The (undocumented) --linear option for kickstart's lilo command does not work. I needed it desparately, so I fixed it myself, which appears to work. I'll send the patch via e-mail separately to bugzilla.
Could you send the patch again please. The only one I have recieved from you is related to rc.sysinit. Thanks. Also send it it accordance with the submitting a patch instructions located at: http://developer.redhat.com/bugzilla/redhat-faq.phtml#howdoipatch
