[Bug 557023] Re: update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) / cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory

[Gary M]

Occurs for me doing the many updates from lucid beta 2 UNE "live USB
with persistent storage".  This prevented the linux-generic update
completing properly.  IIRC, I had the same error with karmic UNR on its
first kernel update.

/vmlinuz was a broken link to boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19-generic which did
not exist. /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-20-generic did exist, and all other
files in /boot were pairs for versions 2.6.32.19 and 2.6.32.30.  The
squashfs in /cdrom/casper/ has the same broken /vmlinuz link.  Also,
/cdrom/casper/ contains a real vmlinuz file, probably version 2.6.32.19.

Workaround was to copy /cdrom/casper/vmlinuz to
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19-generic. After reinstalling initramfs-tools,
/vmlinuz was a link to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-20-generic as expected.
