Bug Description
Binary package hint: lilo
I just dist-upgraded dapper after a few days of not doing it. It installed a new kernel, asked whether to run lilo, and I replied in the affirmative, as always. lilo just hung. It's bene stuck for half an hour now.
Here's a copy/paste from the terminal window:
-------
A new kernel image has been installed at /boot/vmlinuz-
(Size: 1470kB)
Initial rootdisk image: /boot/initrd.
Symbolic links, unless otherwise specified, can be found in /
LILO sets up your system to boot Linux directly from your hard
disk, without the need for booting from a boot floppy.
WARNING
If you are keeping another operating system or another version
of Linux on a separate disk partition, you should not have LILO
install a boot block now. Wait until you read the LILO documentation.
That is because installing a boot block now might make the other
system un-bootable. If you only want to run this version of Linux,
go ahead and install the boot block here. If it does not work, you
can still boot this system from a boot floppy.
You already have a LILO configuration in /etc/lilo.conf
Install a boot block using the existing /etc/lilo.conf? [Yes]
Testing lilo.conf ...

I'll attach lilo.conf, but I've not changed it for quite a while now.
