Bug Description
Whenever there's an update for initramfs-tools, the next time I reboot, ubuntu shows a kernel panic instead of booting.
In such cases I boot to "ubuntuOLD" and run "sudo lilo", then reboot again and the problem is fixed.
Would it not be better if the post-install script for initramfs-tools could run lilo automatically if it is found to be necessary?

I've seen this kernel panic quite a lot of times in the past but never known which package was causing it. This time I made a list of all the packages which had been installed since the last time I booted. Here it is:
