Package: lilo
Version: 1:22.8-8.1
Severity: critical
Hi,
after a recent upgrade of kernel image 2.6.32-5-686 on a mac mini it
refuses to boot. The messages on the conole are:
LILO 22.8 Loading Linux
Initial ramdisk loads below 4Mb; kernel overwrite is possible.
.... .
BIOS data check successful
<nothing more>
The update made the initramfs slightly larger.
After removing the plymouth from the initramfs cutting its size down
from 12Mb to about 8Mb the system boots again as expected (I also made
shure it's not plymouth that breaks the boot by dropping "splash" from
the kernel command line).
So it seems the initramfs really overwrites parts of the kernel.
Cheers,
-- Guido
