Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.83
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
update-initramfs exits with status 1 from function mbr_check() if the
boot record doesn't contain the string "LILO". Indeed grep returns
status 1 and the script runs with "set -e".
The small patch attached below solved the problem for me (using grub,
but lilo still installed and lilo.conf no longer current).
Thanks
