[Bug 666328] Re: [dapper] kernel upgrade doesn't respect non-interactivity settings

[Andreas Hasenack]

This seems to be the prompt causing the problems with non-interactive installs:
"""

You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version 2.6.15-55-server)
This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use
initrd. (An initrd image is a kernel image that expects to use an INITial
Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system into RAM and use that for
booting).

   As a reminder, in order to configure LILO, you need
   to add an 'initrd=/initrd.img' to the image=/vmlinuz
   stanza of your /etc/lilo.conf

I repeat, You need to configure your boot loader -- please read your
bootloader documentation for details on how to add initrd images.

If you have already done so, and you wish to get rid of this message,
please put
  "do_initrd = Yes"
in /etc/kernel-img.conf. Note that this is optional, but if you do not,
you will continue to see this message whenever you install a kernel
image using initrd.
Do you want to stop now? [Y/n]
"""

This is a installation on linode, using pvgrub.

Note that I already have that seeint in /etc/kernel-img.conf:

root at ls2-dapper:~ # cat /etc/kernel-img.conf 
# Kernel Image management overrides
# See kernel-img.conf(5) for details
do_symlinks = Yes
root at ls2-dapper:~ # 

Or maybe it was added now that I installed the package manually and
answered "n" to that question.
