Same here. I would not trust LILO any more now because it uses hardcoded 
blocklists to read files, just like GRUB does when embedding is not 
possible, which is considered unreliable.

installable boot loader.

I have never used it, but it seems that syslinux supports GPT and EFI.
Also I have read positive reports about rEFInd for EFI boot.
