As I indicated in my previous post, you need to remove those last two lines from /etc/kernel-img.conf, the ones which have "lilo-update" in them. That will solve the above problem. >> >> I also don't see any zz-lilo hook scripts, which the latest version >> of lilo would have installed.

Don't forget the zy-symlinks hook scripts and to delete the other ones and to install the latest initramfs-tools package, and to make sure that do_symlinks = no is set in /etc/kernel-img.conf. -- .''`.
