I don't know, I must be doing something wrong. I have this motherboard

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/970A-G46.html

and two GPT-partitioned 3TB disks using md-raid (mirror), and LILO still
boots this thing. How should I fix that ?

I have never had any problems with lilo, but then again I always have a
small /boot partition first in the partition list.
