Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.76
Severity: important
Hi all,
I've seen lots of discussion already on the initramfs/lilo dependency when
people are using grub, but I didn't see any report of my issue.
I'm using grub only (lilo is not installed) on my machine and during the last
2 upgrades of initramfs-tools I received the following error message :
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-2-k7
/usr/sbin/update-initramfs: line 88: lilo: command not found
I resolved the issue with a simple
touch /usr/sbin/lilo
chmod +x /usr/sbin/lilo
But I wondered what would have happened if lilo WAS installed. As I'm using grub
it would certainly have broken my boot...
If I remember correctly the issue started with 0.75 (at least I remember only
having to use the above workaround only twice).
Let me know if you need more info, I'll be glad to help.
Cheers
Anthony
