New submission from Jordan Metzmeier <jmetzmeier at hostgator.com>:
In the script /etc/grml/fai/grml/grml_cleanup_chroot, the latest kernel version is detected by
looking in the /lib/modules/ and reverse sorting the entries by locale. This hits a bug when
directories that are not associated with a specific kernel version are placed in /lib/modules. I
patched this file to look at /boot/vmlinuz-* rather than /lib/modules. My patch does expect the
kernel image to start with vmlinuz, but this should be a safe assumption as this is they way
kernel-package will name the file. Like the original method, it is locale dependent.
I am attaching the patch.
