[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1929255] Re: update-initrd-links creates incorrect symlinks
On a given system we can have the following symlinks
/vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-lowlatency
/vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-generic
/boot/vmlinuz.old -> vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-lowlatency
/boot/vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-generic
which is controlled by /etc/kernel-img.conf setting link_in_boot. The
compiled-in default, and the setting that installers set has changed.
Thus depending which release one installed either cases might be
present.
And they should all work.
Testing the proposed patch:
linknames() {
tgt_kernel="$1"
echo old "initrd.img${tgt_kernel#vmlinu?}"
echo new "${tgt_kernel%/*}/initrd.img${tgt_kernel#*vmlinu?}"
}
linknames boot/vmlinuz-5.11
linknames vmlinuz-5.11
produces
old initrd.imgboot/vmlinuz-5.11
new boot/initrd.img-5.11
old initrd.img-5.11
new vmlinuz-5.11/initrd.img-5.11
meaning it fixes the case of link_in_boot = no; but regresses the
link_in_boot = yes case.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1929255] Re: update-initrd-links creates incorrect symlinks
linux-update-symlinks install 4.15.0-144-generic
/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-144-generic => generates correct symlinks for
vmlinuz{.old} with both link_in_boot and without link_in_boot.
I am confused how come Debian kernels call linux-update-symlinks and
Ubuntu kernels (and upstream) do not.
