Public bug reported:

Affects: kernel-package (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: Medium
     Assignee: Ben Collins
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Hello,

when using XFS as fs you are forced to use lilo. When you then upgrade your
kernel lilo will ask "Install new kernel [Yes?]" and waits for the user to 
give an 'enter'. However this question is not visible when doing a default
system upgrade (if you do not show the terminal output).

With apt-get upgrade or grub as bootloader this does not happen.
