Hi Ben,
Answers embedded.
It would when one installs dear old lilo, the script needs to check for the presence of GRUB and adjust some config files? What should /etc/kernal-img.conf look like with lilo/
Regards,
John

Works for me. Please send the contents of /etc/kernel-img.conf.

do_symlinks = yes
relative_links = yes
do_bootloader = no
do_bootfloppy = no
do_initrd = yes
link_in_boot = no
postinst_hook = update-grub
postrm_hook = update-grub

That sounds like a hardware problem to me.
Do you have both lilo and grub packages installed?

Then you should put that address in ~/.reportbugrc.
