Kernel Panic after EVERY kernel upgrade

[stragnagn]

After installing Dapper Beta-2, every time I upgrade the kernel, lilo is not invoked by the system and therefore I receive a kernel panic at reboot.

The same happens to a friend of mine.

Does this happen to everyone? Has been this critical bug reported?

Thanks.

Re: Kernel Panic after EVERY kernel upgrade

Stupid question first...are you sure you're using lilo and not grub? :P

It's been ages since I've tried lilo (and I never did much with it) , but I would assume you'd need to reconfigure it after a kernel change.

With Grub this is done with '/sbin/update-grub':

do_symlinks = yes
relative_links = yes
do_bootloader = no
do_bootfloppy = no
do_initrd = yes
link_in_boot = no
postinst_hook = /sbin/update-grub
postrm_hook   = /sbin/update-grub

reconfigure AND reinstall lilo, many people forget to reinstall lilo and then wonder what happened.
