Ah, nice to mention ...

What about adding it in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh (With an param to disable it 
on bootprompt with nodma)

Not bug in knx-hdinstall, but in genliloconf.

The initrd is not inserted into there ...

Just add: initrd=/boot/initrd.gz

to the /etc/lilo.conf

Also add:

prompt
vga=791

Then its like it was with the nice lilo.conf, created by the script ...

PS: I had this problem (ext2) today, too, but it fixed itself by adding above 
mentioned parameters ... so we just forgot to correctly use genliloconf ;-)
