Last month when lilo could not boot a stock 2.6.26-1-amd64 debian system it was pointed out to me that the initrd.img was too big and that the solution was to edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and change MODULES=most to MODULES=dep. This indeed reduced the size of the initrd.img from about 9000000 to 5008590 and all was well until the most recent update of update-initramfs. Now even with MODULES=dep update-initramfs generates a 7787042 initrd.img and again lilo cannot boot the system.
Fortunately I have saved a 2.6.24-1-amd64 kernel image and its initrd.img which is just 4943450 so my system is still bootable. Tom George -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
