Ubuntu 12.04 comes out a view weeks earlier then my patch to lilo. The
current Debian version of lilo (23.2-4) has the bugfix for this problem.

You can fix the bug with this small patch for liloconfig script:

--- aa/usr/sbin/liloconfig      2011-04-09 17:08:01.000000000 +0200
+++ bb/usr/sbin/liloconfig      2012-04-15 10:18:15.936797140 +0200

        my $nr2;
 
        # search for kernel image files
-       my @vmlinuz = readpipe("/bin/ls -t -1 /boot/vmlinuz-2* 2>/dev/null");
+       my @vmlinuz = readpipe("/bin/ls -t -1 /boot/vmlinuz-* 2>/dev/null");
 
        # append to new lilo.conf
        open(MYFH_NEW, ">> $liloconfnew") or die "Cannot open file: $!";


You see: the old script working only for kernels beginning with 2*
and couldn't find the newer 3* kernel versions.

Have a nice day.
