Comment 15 for bug 221664

The closure of this bug by "jscc88" was wholly inappropriate; recovery mode is *not* an answer to a system being unbootable by default after installation!

However, it happens that this bug has been fixed in Jaunty courtesy of work in Debian. Here's the changelog entry:

lilo (1:22.8-6.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Add some information about large initrd boot problems:
    - Document the issue and workarounds in README.Debian
    - Alert users to the issue in NEWS.Debian
    - Prompt users to add large-memory to /etc/lilo.conf
    - Thanks to debian-l10n-english for the review!
    (Closes: #479607)
  * Include French debconf translation update by Christian Perrier
