We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve
Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The
biggest one is that upstream has moved on to a new version and believes
this to be fixed. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in
the latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a
new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer
versions.

Title:
  kernel updates create absolute link to initrd, should be relative

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I am using Mythbuntu 12.04.4 lts, but I am sure that this is a long
  standing general Ubuntu bug...

  During kernel updates links get (correctly) created in the root directory to the new kernel.  
  e.g.  vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-18-generic
  Note: there is no slash before the word "boot".  
  Links get wrongly created to the new initrd.  
  e.g.  initrd.img -> /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-18-generic
  Note: there is a slash before the word "boot".  

  This is not a problem, UNLESS there are multiple installations on the
  computer.  If there are, then the boot loader can try to match the
  current initrd with the kernel of a different installation.  (Some
  boot loaders need the absolute block address at installation time.)
