I had the same exact problem, and had also answered Y to the mkliloboot question.

The answer should be "N," then allow the script to finish.

At the next prompt follow the instruction from the FAQ page:

4. Execute "mkliloboot" by typing "sudo -u root mkliloboot" (without the quotes)
Enter the partition that your install is on. This will create an "initrd" with the needed modules and will setup "LILO".


This small difference worked for me. The red slap-mark on my forehead reminded me to read the documention better next time.  :p

Nope! None of these intervention strategies worked for me. Can't even get the Grub script to boot up using a Grub FD. Time for some very serious considerations by our coding experts. How Does Klaus Knopper manage to get it right every time?!
