FWIW, I still have this problem; even from yesterday's upgrade I rebooted,
got "LI" and had to get a rescue disk and rerun lilo myself (I am asking the
installation scripts to leave /etc/lilo.conf alone, which they do). This
seems to be a feature of every lilo upgrade on my system. :(
I can send you details if you like.
