I'm not 100% sure that this is the same problems but when upgrading lilo it told me: | By default, LILO loads the initrd file into the first 15MB of memory | to avoid a BIOS limitation with older systems (earlier than 2001). | | However, with newer kernels the combination of kernel and initrd may | not fit into the first 15MB of memory and so the system will not boot | properly. It seems that the boot issues appear when the kernel+initrd | combination is larger than 8MB. | | If this machine has a recent BIOS without the 15MB limitation, you can | add the 'large-memory' option to /etc/lilo.conf to instruct LILO to | use more memory for passing the initrd to the kernel. You will need to | re-run the 'lilo' command to make this option take effect. This seems to suggest that instead of setting MODULES=dep in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf you could also answer Yes to this lilo question. I have tried this out and my system still boots. The release notes should probably be updated to reflect this (unless someone knows a reason not to). -- -- arthur - adejong@debian.org - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
