We appear in that case to be copying the initrd around instead of
making symbolic links.  In the normal case we use links so we do not
notice that the link destination is not yet made.  This allows regular
installs to work fine.  I suspect some of the kernel configuration is
missing, /etc/kernel-img.conf is likely missing the entries to enforce
link use.  I will follow up on the bug.
