Hi!
I'm not sure who to blame, but the below commit breaks the kernel binrpm target for me. It produces a faulty grub2 config. After installing such a kernel grub2 looks for vmlinuz-XY-rpm and initrd-XY-rpm. These files are not existing and the machine does no longer boot. Luckily an addition boot entry without the -rpm suffix exists, if remote access works one can recover the machine.
My question is, why do we need these copy of vmlinuz anyway? After calling installkernel on the -rpm variants you delete them again...
The typical /sbin/installkernel script does a cp "$2" "/boot/...", so you can't use the already installed files as its arguments.
This <insert swear word here> happens on openSUSE 13.1, maybe their installkernel script needs fixing.
I guess that the problem is that grub2-mkconfig sees the temporary /boot/vmlinuz-*-rpm file and creates a menu entry for it. I guess we should create the temporary kernel and initrd files somewhere else than in /boot.
