Bug Description
Hi,
My English is bad so don't blame me for this.
Today, i've tried to upgrade my ubuntu 6.10 edgy to ubuntu 7.04 feisty.
The update can't finish because lilo can't add the kernel 2.6.20 entry.
My root partition is on xfs filesystem, reason i need to use lilo instead of grub.
when i tried sudo lilo
i get :
Added Linux *
Fatal: Empty map section
My upgrade can't finish because of this.
Changed in lilo: | |
status: | Fix Committed → Confirmed |

I ran into the same problem on a (Intel) Macbook Pro. The problem is because something is leaving 0 byte initrd.img files around in /boot. A trivial work around is to rm or move them out of the way. However this effectively breaks upgrades from Edgy to Feisty on machines that use lilo. Either update-initramfs shouldn't be generating these 0 byte initrd.img files or lilo needs to be fixed to ignore them.
