Maybe this can be optimized?

You could try adding "rootfstype=ext4" as kernel parameter.

Yes, works. Great!
I think it should be added then to standard lilo.conf of Salix 13.1 due to I got the three lines from a fresh installed one. At least if auto-installation was chosen.

# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda1
label = Linux
read-only
addappend = "rootfstype=ext4"
# Linux bootable partition config ends

Hum sounds weird that the kernel needs this parameter...
Anyway, why not on damNageHack's proposition.

The messages don't hurt...

+1
Changes needed to support this are in no relation to those messages. In fact, it would only be additional complexity bound to cause real problems at some point.
If somebody thinks he really needs to get rid of those messages, he can add the parameter himself by his own responsibility.

Therefore, I posted in "Suggestions" ...

A newbie may wonder about the three lines when done automatic installation.

Yes, and it was considered, but is unlikely to become implemented as we told you. I guess other distros also would have that "problem" with ext4 (and without initrd). Initrd might change some things.

So what? He would be told that it's harmless.

A newbie won't think about anything unless something really does not work because he won't check dmesg messages

Aren't those messages gone when you make an initrd and boot the generic kernel instead?
