I installed from debian-LennyBeta2-amd64-netinst.iso, which worked; I
then upgraded to linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64, which failed (it did not
even try to run /init from initrd.img).

I then added large-memory to /etc/lilo.conf (at the global level), and
now it works.  (I did not try MODULES=dep.)

Maybe there are two different problems?  Or maybe large-memory only
helps on certain systems?  I've got a SuperMicro X7DCA-i motherboard
with 2x Core 2 Quad and 8GB RAM.

Some people have wanted to know file sizes.  Here are the file sizes
for the initial 2.6.24 kernel:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -lL /vmlinuz.old /initrd.img.old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7760701 2008-07-25 22:01 /initrd.img.old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1668248 2008-05-10 02:32 /vmlinuz.old

And for the new kernel:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -lL /vmlinuz /initrd.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8031788 2008-07-26 08:56 /initrd.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1727456 2008-07-14 05:16 /vmlinuz
