[Voyage-linux] Rebuilding Kernel and Distribution

[Lee Woldanski]

Well, that gets closer.

The other problem is that the symlinks in / to /boot/vmlinuz-* and
/boot/initrd.img-* are no longer created by the make-kpkg tool.

As such, when setboot.sh runs, and creates /boot/grub/menu.lst, it is
expecting the symlinks /vmlinuz and /initrd.img. Because those are no
longer created, once you install to a CF disk or hard drive, it will
not boot (can't find the initrd.img or kernel).

I guess there are a couple solutions to this, one is to create the
symlinks manually with a hook, another option is to run update-grub in
chroot on the target to find the initrd and kernel, but that might be
a problem if you want to change the console to serial.
