Please beware that it is perfectly ok to leave behind configuration
files. Debian should behave sanely even if not purged.

ok you should change the line about do_bootloader in:
do_bootloader = no

as lilo needs to be run after new linux-image or new initramfs
but not grub.

thanks for your report, i'll check for the lilo executable
in next version too.

Hi Maximilan !

>From your suggestions I manage to find a solution to my issue, sorry
about the unnecessary noise :o(

For the record here is my kernel-img.conf : 
$ cat /etc/kernel-img.conf
do_symlinks = yes
relative_links = yes
do_bootloader = yes
do_bootfloppy = no
do_initrd = yes
link_in_boot = no

But I indeed had a lilo.conf remaining of a previous configuration,
removing it did the trick... sorry to have bother you with something as
simple :o(

Anyway thanks a million for your answer
Cheers
Anthony

Bug#384967: initramfs-tools fails to upgrade if lilo is not installed

2006-08-28 Thread Anthony Callegaro
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.76
Severity: important

Hi all,

I've seen lots of discussion already on the initramfs/lilo dependency when 
people are using grub, but I didn't see any report of my issue. 

I'm using grub only (lilo is not installed) on my machine and during the last 
2 upgrades of initramfs-tools I received the following error message :

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-2-k7
/usr/sbin/update-initramfs: line 88: lilo: command not found

I resolved the issue with a simple 
touch /usr/sbin/lilo
chmod +x /usr/sbin/lilo

But I wondered what would have happened if lilo WAS installed. As I'm using grub
it would certainly have broken my boot...

If I remember correctly the issue started with 0.75 (at least I remember only 
having to use the above workaround only twice).

Let me know if you need more info, I'll be glad to help.
Cheers
Anthony
