Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
I can still reproduce bug 99511 in this kernel, namely: Ubuntu uses
grub, but the remove scripts for the kernel packages mention lilo:
-----
Removing linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic ...
Running postrm hook script /sbin/update-grub.
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic
Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
The link /vmlinuz.old is a damaged link
Removing symbolic link vmlinuz.old
Unless you used the optional flag in lilo,
you may need to re-run your boot loader[lilo]
The link /initrd.img.old is a damaged link
Removing symbolic link initrd.img.old
Unless you used the optional flag in lilo,
you may need to re-run your boot loader[lilo]
-----
It's not very useful to be told to run lilo when you're not using it!
The situation seems to have improved slightly since 2.6.17 in that it
refers to "your boot loader", but it still seems to assume lilo. (It's
natural to read "your boot loader[lilo]" as "your boot loader, i.e.
lilo", which is wrong.)
