[Bug 958839] [NEW] Initrd/vmlinux symbloic links not in /boot directory on PowerPC

[ojordan]

Public bug reported:

Version: Casper 1.309
Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop ISO PowerPC

The symbolic links for initrd.img, initrd.img.old, vmlinux and
vmlinux.old are placed in the root directory of the squashfs filesystem.
These are then copied by ubiquity to the root partition of the installed
system.  The initrd.img.old file also doesn't have the correct
permissions.

On previous CDs (for example 10.04) these files were placed in the /boot
directory of the squashfs filesystem.

When updating the installed system kernel the symbolic links on the root
partition are the ones that are updated, rather than in /boot where
yaboot looks.  I don't know if something else also has to be changed to
correct this.
