Comment 27 for bug 292159

Adding the link to update-initramfs is working for me. However I would like to update my kernel. As Colin said update-initramfs should update the real kernel that is located in "/cdrom". I was wondering how to go about doing this manually until things are fixed. I tried copying vmlinuz and initrd.img from "/" to "/cdrom/casper". I gzipped initrd.img and saved it as initrd.gz, (since the previous file had a gz extension, I assumed it was gzipped). However, when I boot this up it just gives me a kernel panic. What would be the proper way to manually update the kernel on a persistent usb drive?
