--[ Distribution upgrade

If you are upgrading or dist-upgrading, it is recommended to run 
/sbin/lilo after that.

--[ Large initrd files and lilo

By default, LILO loads the initrd file into the first 15MB of memory
to avoid a BIOS limitation with older systems (earlier than 2001).

However, with newer kernels the combination of kernel and initrd
may not fit into the first 15MB of memory and so the system will not
boot properly. It seems that the boot issues appear when the
kernel+initrd combination is larger than 8MB.

If this machine has a recent BIOS without the 15MB limitation, you can
add the 'large-memory' option to /etc/lilo.conf to instruct LILO to use
more memory for passing the initrd to the kernel. You will need to
re-run the 'lilo' command to make this option take effect.

If this machine has an older BIOS, you may need to reduce the size of
the initrd *before* rebooting.

If you are using initramfs-tools, you should replace MODULES=most with
MODULES=dep in your configuration and regenerate your initrd file:

sed -i -e s/MODULES=most/MODULES=dep/ /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
update-initramfs -u

If you are using yaird or any other initrd generator, please consult
the documentation for your initrd generator.
