--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.98.3 Severity: normal I just got this: WARNING: grub and lilo installed. Please deinstall unused bootloader. There is nothing wrong with having both grub and lilo installed, and I happily use both. Please do not enforce the "you can only install packages while you actively use them" rule, that road down lies insanity ("please don't install xfsprogs and reiserfsprogs at the same time" etc.). If the problem is that it cannot decide which bootloader to run, maybe the message could be reworded to that effect instead of asking me to uninstall programs I depend on. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M Sep 27 12:00 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 -rw------- 1 root root 8.1M Sep 13 17:00 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64.bak -rw------- 1 root root 11M Sep 27 12:03 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64 -rw------- 1 root root 9.0M Sep 13 09:52 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64.bak -- /proc/cmdline auto BOOT_IMAGE=debian ro root=/dev/vg_cerebro/root rootfstype=ext4 rootdelay=5 relatime ide_core.trim=1 -- /proc/filesystems reiserfs ext3 xfs vfat ext4 fuseblk -- lsmod Module Size Used by fuse 49998 1 binfmt_misc 6399 1 ppdev 5030 0 parport_pc 18855 0 lp 7462 0 parport 27954 3 ppdev,parport_pc,lp loop 53446 6 nvidia 10670090 28 rfcomm 29533 0 l2cap 24736 5 rfcomm bluetooth 41763 4 rfcomm,l2cap rfkill 12964 1 bluetooth firewire_net 10889 0 nfsd 253286 3 nfs 240218 0 lockd 57475 2 nfsd,nfs fscache 29594 1 nfs nfs_acl 2031 2 nfsd,nfs auth_rpcgss 33396 2 nfsd,nfs sunrpc 160837 6 nfsd,nfs,lockd,nfs_acl,auth_rpcgss coretemp 4325 0 hwmon_vid 1828 0 eeprom 3337 0 autofs4 20693 1 ac 2192 0 video 17445 0 output 1692 1 video battery 4998 0 nls_utf8 1208 1 nls_cp437 5817 1 joydev 8411 0 ac97_bus 1086 0 snd_util_mem 2064 0 wacom 17784 0 emu10k1_gp 1734 0 processor 30239 0 asus_atk0110 7686 0 soundcore 4598 0 gameport 7384 2 emu10k1_gp button 4650 0 i2c_i801 7830 0 evdev 7352 4 snd_page_alloc 6169 0 i2c_core 15680 3 nvidia,eeprom,i2c_i801 x38_edac 2739 0 edac_core 29261 2 x38_edac pcspkr 1699 0 ext4 288969 2 jbd2 67015 1 ext4 crc16 1319 2 l2cap,ext4 dm_mirror 10923 0 dm_region_hash 6680 1 dm_mirror dm_log 7381 2 dm_mirror,dm_region_hash dm_snapshot 18481 0 dm_mod 53770 31 dm_mirror,dm_log,dm_snapshot fan 3346 0 vfat 7884 1 fat 40038 1 vfat xfs 436813 4 exportfs 3170 2 nfsd,xfs ext3 106518 0 mbcache 5050 2 ext4,ext3 jbd 37085 1 ext3 reiserfs 194156 0 ide_generic 1121 0 [permanent] ide_core 71722 1 ide_generic usb_storage 39561 1 sd_mod 29777 10 crc_t10dif 1276 1 sd_mod usbhid 33276 0 hid 62857 1 usbhid pata_jmicron 2280 0 ata_piix 21124 3 ata_generic 2983 0 firewire_ohci 19468 0 firewire_core 36800 2 firewire_net,firewire_ohci crc_itu_t 1307 1 firewire_core ehci_hcd 31135 0 thermal 11674 0 thermal_sys 11942 4 video,processor,fan,thermal uhci_hcd 18521 0 3w_9xxx 28684 2 floppy 49087 0 libata 133584 3 pata_jmicron,ata_piix,ata_generic sky2 39278 0 scsi_mod 122117 4 usb_storage,sd_mod,3w_9xxx,libata usbcore 121938 6 wacom,usb_storage,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd nls_base 6377 5 nls_utf8,nls_cp437,vfat,fat,usbcore -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel Image management overrides # See kernel-img.cnf(5) for details do_symlinks = No do_initrd = Yes -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=gzip BOOT=local DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf update_initramfs=yes backup_initramfs=no -- /etc/crypttab # <target name> <source device> <key file> <options> -- mkinitramfs hooks /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/: e2fsck no3ware /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks: busybox cryptgnupg cryptopenct cryptopensc cryptpassdev cryptroot dmsetup keymap klibc loopaes lvm2 thermal udev uswsusp -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11-4 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii findutils 4.4.2-1 utilities for finding files--find, ii klibc-utils 1.5.20-1 small utilities built with klibc f ii module-init-tools 3.12-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 160-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.17.1-4 Tiny utilities for small and embed Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: pn bash-completion <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information

The warning aboves tell you that your box might be unbootable after the upgrade as lilo might not be run after the new initramfs. if you are interested to push double bootloader usage, discuss that on debian-kernel concerning the new boot loader policy and present valid use cases. closing as not a bug, just a warning for non standard usage.
