[Bug 566080] [NEW] package linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic 2.6.31-20.58 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Public bug reported:

Hello,
after replacing grub by lilo (necessary, because old Bios of PC does not support access beyond 137GB and grub relies on Bios; remark: boot partition at the beginning of disk is not possible in this case and lilo works well) configuration of kernel packages stops with an error (Could not find postinst hook script [update-grub]) although grub is only recommended alternativly to lilo.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
