Hi all,

  I needed to temporary install lilo on my system these days. I've seen that 
the 22.8 version was released. I installed it and seems to work OK. I attach 
here the proposed bump for testing. The existent module patch apply as it is.

Changes: 

 Boot Installer
  --------------
    - Move configuration information (-X) to a separate procedure.  (lilo.c)
    - Fix type decl problem in LVM _IOR/RW macros.  (geometry.c)
    - Add  DEV_DISK_DIR  and edit source to use it.  (config.h, device.c,
	    geometry.c)
    - Change handling of 'device-mapper' depending upon DEVMAPPER option.
	    (device.c, geometry.c)
    - Modify 'scan_dir' to stay out of hidden directories.  (device.c)
    - Add 'nodevcache' option to configuration file.  (cfg.c, lilo.c)
    - Add sync() before boot sector write to compensate for 2.6 kernel bug
	    in partition buffering code.  (bsect.c)
    - Allow 'root="UUID=xyz"' syntax.  (bsect.c)

  Boot Loader
  -----------
    - Add compilation switch 'NOVGA' to the Makefile.
