Hi Mathew,

You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image
(version
2.6.26-2-686-bigmem). This will not work unless the boot loader is
configured to use an initrd. In order to configure LILO, you need to add
'initrd=/initrd.img' to the image=/vmlinuz stanza of /etc/lilo.conf. The
boot loader must be configured to use such images and the system will not
boot until this is done. This message will appear for any new kernel
installation unless the following is added to /etc/kernel-img.conf:
"do_initrd = Yes"
This is asking you to double check that your boot loader can handle
an initrd (it can). So the correct thing to do is to say "no" do not
abort the install, and then probably do the suggested "do_initrd =
Yes" into /etc/kernel-img.conf so it doesn't ask you again.
Cheers,
Andy
