LILO doesn't know about device-mapper block devices. I'm maintaining a
patch that makes lilo use libdevmapper to resolve the mappings (well,
the linear ones). The patches can be found on http://www.saout.de/misc/

Since you are a lucky gentoo user :), you can copy the attached ebuild
file to /usr/portage/sys-apps/lilo/ and the corresponding digest file to
/usr/portage/sys-apps/lilo/files/, overwriting the old files and
re-emerge lilo (assuming you want to use the latest version
lilo-22.5.8-r1).

Perhaps someone can let the gentoo people know about the availability of
this patch, I'm sure someone can come up with an ebuild file that sets
the define depending on the availability of libdevmapper or something.
