Hello Joachim, here's what Holger replied: Holger Wansing <linux@wansing-online.de> (23/10/2012): > I tested the lilo bootloader on a x86 Virtual Box with the beta3 > netinst CD image: > - Installation was a complete success. > - Booting the new system also works without problems. > (The /etc/lilo.conf also contains the initrd line.) > > So, no problem with lilo on x86 AFAICS. I thought the fix could be: | lilo-installer (1.38) unstable; urgency=low | | * Fix detection of initrd.img when generating lilo.conf. | Change test -e to -L, as the symlink is absolute for some reason | and so appears broken from within the d-i environment. | Thanks, Ivo De Decker. Closes: #678421 | | -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 25 Aug 2012 16:02:25 -0400 but that one migrated to testing the day before we built beta2's installer images: * [2012-08-27] lilo-installer 1.38 MIGRATED to testing (Britney) * 20120828 to unstable: Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> So beta2 should have this bug fix. Additionally, I don't see anything in later lilo-installer releases that would explain the bug in beta2 getting fixed in beta3. Are you sure you didn't try beta1? Anyway, a confirmation that the bug doesn't affect beta3 would be appreciated. Mraw, KiBi.
