Hi,

The default setting for initramfs is MODULES=most, meaning that it will
try to install a lot of modules that aren't necessary for the system
you're running on.

With the kernel in lenny, on at least amd64 (I didn't try i386), this
results in an initramfs image that is too large for lilo to load. As a
result, this renders the system unbootable.

It should be documented that users who wish to keep using lilo should
use MODULES=dep, and the effect of this setting (that it loads only
those modules that are required for the system mkinitramfs is running
on).

Closing Lenny release-notes pending bugs, since the relevant patches have been
commited to SVN trunk and are published on line at
