[Bug 1077388] Re: Ubuntu Raring daily has missing /casper/vmlinuz

[Colin Watson]

This is probably a separate bug in this "universal usb installer"
program, then.  It should be able to generate boot menu entries pointing
to vmlinuz.efi rather than vmlinuz, if the former exists.

The vmlinuz.efi file is in fact bootable using BIOS as well.  The reason
I changed the file name was to indicate to the installer that it's a
signed kernel with the EFI stub, and that it should perform a special
operation to generate the unsigned kernel from that file (which is
actually just to make checksums match - the signed kernel is just as
good).
