the opportunity to have an unbootable system when reverting to kernel.old,
if not aware of it.

Tim,

can you try this (completely untested) patch?

Ok, I've committed a slightly modified patch that will copy
/boot/kernel/initrd.img only instead of *.img.

Let me know if you think this is a problem.
