Package: lilo
Version: 1:22.8-7
Severity: important

Hello,

 When upgrading a 2.6.26 kernel, LILO is not run anymore, so the
computer won't reboot properly if we forget to manually run LILO.

 It was working fine when upgrading 2.6.25 kernels, and
LILO stopped being executed automatically only once I upgraded
to the 2.6.26 kernel.

 Maybe it is a release candidate bug, because while it is easy
to manually execute lilo after upgrading the kernel, forgeting to
do so may lead to important problems with remote servers. At least,
I think it should be a release goal if it is not already the case.

 I am not sure if this bug is in the LILO package itself, but if
not you will certainly know very well to which package to reasign it.

Thank you in advance,
