Bug#505316: [lilo-config] Choosing a kernel from kde-shutdown menu renders system with grub unbootable
Package: lilo-config
Version: 4:3.5.9-2
Severity: grave
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
On a system with grub, it is possible in kde to choose between different
kernel for reboot. After choosing one of the kernels and reboot, grub tries
to boot any kernel and stops with:
selected item cannot fit into memory
Only after a boot from CD and a 'grub-install /dev/X' the system boots again.
memtest is unaffected from that.
