Hi,
according to my "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" grub2 (or better the
grub2-mkconfig script) searches for the following kernel names:
/vmlinuz-*, /boot/vmlinuz-* and /boot/kernel-* for x86 and x86_64 and
the same plus /vmlinux-* and /boot/vmlinux-* for other arches.
The accepted names for initrd/initramfs are: initrd.img-${version},
initrd-${version}.img, initrd-${version}.gz,initrd-${version},
initramfs-${version}.img, initrd.img-${alt_version},
initrd-${alt_version}.img, initrd-${alt_version},
initramfs-${alt_version}.img, initramfs-genkernel-${version},
initramfs-genkernel-${alt_version},
initramfs-genkernel-${GENKERNEL_ARCH}-${version} and
initramfs-genkernel-${GENKERNEL_ARCH}-${alt_version}.
I (as a user) would propose to reflect this . I would also give
information about /etc/defaults/grub since that is the config file
that you need to enable persistent, customized kernel options (will be
automatically appended when you run grub2-mkconfig) and grub specific
options like the timeout or the graphic settings.
Thank you for your effort. I really look forward for grub2 becoming
the "default" (whatever that is in gentoo ;) ) option.
WKR
