Description postmodern 2005-10-01 03:50:20 UTC

When using `genkernel initrd` genkernel should create a symlink to the latest
initramfs file that is created and installed into /boot.

A simple `ln -sf /boot/initramfs-genkernel-${ARCH}-* \
/boot/initramfs-genkernel-${ARCH}` would suffice.

Reproducible: Always

Well, genkernel already has the --symlink command line option, that goes with
--install... This links them as /boot/kernel /boot/initrd or /boot/initramfs...
