Dear Maintainer!
After being bitten twice by forgetting to add an "initrd=" to an image,
I have solved that by adding additional, optional images containing the
default initrds. Like that:
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
image=/vmlinuz
label=LinuxRD
initrd=/initrd.img
read-only
optional
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
read-only
optional
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxRDOLD
initrd=/initrd.img.old
read-only
optional
Putting these additional images into lilo.conf also obsoletes the initrd
question in kernel-package built kernel-images and makes lilo much more robust.
For people without initrd those images will be quietly ignored.
Thank you for your time and work,
David Schmitt

I'm going to start with closing this bug report. Apparently lilo is
still maintained (at least uploaded), so if people have some more bugs,
they might be getting fixed.
Thanks for following up.
