Bug Description
Binary package hint: lilo
Ubuntu Hardy
linux-image-
lilo 1:22.8-3.1ubuntu1
mdadm 2.6.3+200709292
A kernel upgrade identified a failed drive in a software mirror and refused to write changes to just one disk. From what I gathered, this fail state was hit after the second stage had been written to disk leaving an incompatible first/second stage pair. At very least this error message should include a warning that the system will be unbootable until the lilo install command is re-run with the -H option.
After the failed kernel upgrade lilo would fail to boot with the following error message:
EBDA is big; Kernel setup stack overlaps LILO second stage"
The apt failure was as follows:
