Anything I am missing?
Make sure to preserve the ABI '/boot/vmlinuz' and '/boot/initrd', both represent the "last installed kernel".
But what relevant program uses these symlinks to do anything?
People use it. It has existed for many years (decades?) Thus, in a multiboot environment there are two possibilities: - grub is updated on all bootable partitions to keep track of the actual kernels that exist in every other bootable (Linux) partition. - Just have one entry per bootable partition using the symlink. No need to update them each time there is a kernel update on another Linux partition. Saves a lot of time. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
