 _Description: Do you want to add the large-memory option?
- By default, LILO loads the initrd file into the first 15MB of memory
- to avoid a BIOS limitation with older systems (earlier than 2001).
+ Usually LILO loads the initrd file into the first 15MB of memory to
+ avoid a BIOS limitation with older systems (earlier than 2001 and
+ few systems until 2004).
  .
- However, with newer kernels the combination of kernel and initrd
- may not fit into the first 15MB of memory and so the system will not
- boot properly. It seems that the boot issues appear when the
- kernel+initrd combination is larger than 8MB.
+ With newer kernels the combination of kernel and initrd may not fit
+ into the first 15MB of memory. LILO compute the needed size of memory
+ and will automatically use the memory above 15MB, too, if there is
+ enough physical memory.
  .
- If this machine has a recent BIOS without the 15MB limitation, you can
- add the 'large-memory' option to /etc/lilo.conf to instruct LILO to use
- more memory for passing the initrd to the kernel. You will need to
- re-run the 'lilo' command to make this option take effect.
- .
- If this machine has an older BIOS, you may need to reduce the size of
- the initrd *before* rebooting. Please see the README.Debian file for
- tips on how to do that.
+ If this machine has a recent BIOS without a 15MB limitation and you
+ want to use memory above 15MB for all kernels, set the 'large-memory'
+ option.

-_Description: Invalid bitmap path
- A deprecated bitmap path entry has been discovered in your LILO configuration 
- file (/etc/lilo.conf). You must upgrade this path in order to run LILO. You 
- can also run liloconfig(8) and get a fresh configuration file.

+_Description: Do you want to convert boot and root options?
+ Until kernel using the newer disk interface 'libata' you need the newer
+ DiskID and/or UUID in your /etc/lilo.conf the for boot and root options.
+ For the most modern systems you should use this conversion and then run
+ '/sbin/lilo'.
