Bug#361270: Upgrade of initramfs-tools made kernel unbootable with lilo



Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.59b
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Upgrading initramfs-tools yesterday caused the current kernel 2.6.15-1
to become unbootable, apparently because the upgrade process regenerated
initrd.img-2.6.15-1-k7. The upgrade process should have warned me to
rerun lilo.

Note that I normally use kernel 2.6.15-1-k7, rather than 2.6.12 listed below, but
due to 2.6.15 being unbootable I had to boot into 2.6.12.
