Re: Grub vs. linux-image-2.6.32 conundrum

As described in discussion a few weeks back, Lilo is installed in place of Grub in Squeeze on the IBM NetVista 6578-RAU here. That's necessary for now.

But then a system update runs update-initramfs which tries to run update-grub which is not there. I should be able to comment out the update-grub; and the assumption that grub is present should warrant a bug report.

Any advice or comments?


A work-around would be to compile your own kernel from the Debian source package, statically linking the modules that you need at boot time. That way, you don't need an initramfs.
