initrd.img and vmlinuz links
by lvm_ from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6E9V3)
I've updated ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 (buster to bullseye in debian) and noticed that initrd.img and vmlinuz links in root stopped updating and don't point to the boot kernel, *.old links are even pointing to non-existent files
Code:$ ls -l /initrd* /vmlinuz*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul 13 12:48 /initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-150-generic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul 13 12:48 /initrd.img.old -> boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-149-generic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jul 13 12:48 /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-150-generic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jul 13 12:48 /vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-149-generic
$ uname -a
Linux server 5.4.0-159-generic #176-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 14 12:04:20 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxI do have "do_symlinks=yes" set in /etc/kernel-img.conf. Are they now obsolete?
