Any suggestions for improved wording? This is what is there now:
======================================================================
You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version $version)
This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use
initrd.
======================================================================
People running lilo also get this message:
======================================================================
As a reminder, in order to configure lilo, you need to
add an 'initrd=/initrd.img' in your /etc/lilo.conf
======================================================================
Everyone gets this:
======================================================================
I repeat, You need to configure your boot loader. If you have already done
so, and you wish to get rid of this message, please put
`do_initrd = Yes'
in /etc/kernel-img.conf.
======================================================================
Some lilo users, who have this line in lilo.conf, get warned:
======================================================================
In addition, the line
"ramdisk = 0"
should be removed or commented.
======================================================================
(non lilo users do not get the lilo specific message, of course).
