Description: LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and others
This package contains lilo (the installer) and boot-record-images to
install Linux, OS/2, DOS and generic Boot Sectors of other OSes.
You can use LILO to manage your Master Boot Record (with a simple text
screen, text menu or colorful splash graphics) or call LILO from
other Boot-Loaders to jump-start the Linux kernel.

Running lilo shows the following.
debianmbp:~# lilo
Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
Added Linux *
Added LinuxOLD
One warning was issued.
debianmbp:~#
Is this the warning saying that de 8MB barrier has been met? Because I
think this warning happened before...
Hi,
It seems to me that lilo does not show any warning for the image which
does not work on my machine. In fact, as previously said, the image has
less than 8MB:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6998498 2008-05-16 10:11 initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64
I put a few days ago this image as the default one and run lilo: no
warning was issued about the size, still rebooting the computer does not
work.
So I reopen this bug.
Cheers,
