Hi debian-kernel,

yesterday I upgraded  a Debian stable system from Linux 2.2.20 to 2.4.16 
(package: kernel-image-2.4.16-686). The installed 2.2.20 kernel didn't use an 
initrd, but the new does.

In the install process I was erroneously prompted to add 'initrd=/initrd' to my 
lilo.conf. But the symlink actually created was called  /initrd.img (pointing 
correctly to the image in /boot). If I hadn't manually verified the image 
location lilo would have failed when trying to update the bootloader.

I'm not subscribed to the list, but will be watching...

Mikkel,
