I am not a developer so I have not figured out a workaround for this problem. I have tried updates through the terminal and get errors there as well. I will probably be doing a rollback to a stable release eventually as I have too much learning to do to be able to fix this problem and not enough time to learn but was hoping at least passing this on to the developer community might help this new version become stable.

Please: look at first into /etc/lilo.conf: is there a line "boot=" and
a line "root="? Then check the images at the end of this file. Are there
images? And to which files the images will be linked?

The next step could be: download and install the newest lilo package of
Ubuntu (upstream version 24.1) which should solve many problems with
liloconfig. Then try again liloconfig.

Please give me feedback about your results.

Have a nice day.
