Package: lilo
Version: 1:22.8-6.3
Severity: normal

I have a rather old router that is only using a kernel-image,
which is smaller then 1.2MB and has no initramfs/initrd. Since this
hardware is rather old I did not enable large_memory after the upgrade
to the latest version. The problem is that there is a check in postinst
which looks for the option and if not set then checks for a
kernel-image AND an initrd-image. Since there is no initrd image, this
fails and postinst display an error, which is wrong.

I did put this on normal since in this case lilo is not called.
