Hi,

It seems to me that lilo does not show any warning for the image which 
does not work on my machine.  In fact, as previously said, the image has 
less than 8MB:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6998498 2008-05-16 10:11 initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64

I put a few days ago this image as the default one and run lilo: no 
warning was issued about the size, still rebooting the computer does not 
work.

So I reopen this bug.

Cheers,
