Bug#655070: cdrom: lilo installer forgot to include the initial ramdisk

[Stefan Frings]

Package: cdrom
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
during installation I selected to boot via LILO becaus eof another bug in the grub2 installer.
The LILO installation worked fine but the system was not able to boot because the initrd.img file
was missing in lilo.conf.
I tried the installation a second time but encountered the same problem again.
I found some log messages that might be helpful:

I had to modify the lilo.conf file manually to fix the problem:

image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
initrd=/initrd.img <-- Add this line
read-only
# restricted
# alias=1
append="quiet"
