Bug#271699: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686: update does not run lilo
Package: kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686
Version: 2.4.26-6
Severity: wishlist
I had kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686 installed, and it got updated by a simple
apt-get upgrade. Then I got a very long message about how important it
was to reboot immediatly. I think it might be a good idea to at least add
a clear warning that people still using lilo should run lilo before
rebooting, because the upgrade leaves the machine in an unbootable state
for them. Not running lilo when you install a new kernel is not too bad,
but when you replace an existing one...
By the way, I know that grub is now the default bootloader for debian,
which I believe is great.
