Check my problem here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lilo/+bug/88219

I have problem with initramfs and lilo I think.
Short story:
- upgraded from Ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04 through internet
- some packages didn't upgrade (initramfs-tools is one of them)
- rebooted with my 2.6.17 kernel
- boot error
- reboted with my old kernel 2.6.15-23
- boot ok
- apt-get upgrade or install initramfs-tools doesn't work because I have zero 
size initrd.img.old (for kernel which works)
- I commented initrd instruction in lilo.conf
- upgrade finished
- since it added 2.6.20-14 and 2.6.20-13 to the lilo.conf, I added 2.6.15-23 to 
lilo.conf myself (kernel which worked)
- rebooted
- boot in new kernel 2.6.20 ends in busybox and messages that it can't mount 
/sys, /proc, /root/dev and because of that it can't start /sbin/init
- boot in old kernel 2.6.15 ends in kernel-panic: unable to mount root ...bla 
bla...

I will try to boot my ubuntu 6.06 DVD if I can solve my problems. (Since
I upgraded from 6.06 to 6.10 with no problems)
