Bug Description
Version: Casper 1.309
Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop ISO PowerPC
The symbolic links for initrd.img, initrd.img.old, vmlinux and vmlinux.old are placed in the root directory of the squashfs filesystem. These are then copied by ubiquity to the root partition of the installed system. The initrd.img.old file also doesn't have the correct permissions.
On previous CDs (for example 10.04) these files were placed in the /boot directory of the squashfs filesystem.
When updating the installed system kernel the symbolic links on the root partition are the ones that are updated, rather than in /boot where yaboot looks. I don't know if something else also has to be changed to correct this.
