Oops, sorry, crystal balls are out of stock. Its the third message found in here: /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.18-4-686.templates >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version 2.6.18-4-686) This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use initrd. (An initrd image is a kernel image that expects to use an INITial Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system into RAM and use that for booting). . As a reminder, in order to configure LILO, you need to add an 'initrd=/initrd.img' to the image=/vmlinuz stanza of your /etc/lilo.conf . I repeat, You need to configure your boot loader -- please read your bootloader documentation for details on how to add initrd images. . 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. Note that this is optional, but if you do not, you will continue to see this message whenever you install a kernel image using initrd. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I don't know about LILO, but for Grub I do not need to configure anything in my boot loader.
