[OE-core] [PATCH] kernel: Fix symlinks

David Vincent freesilicon at gmail.com
Tue Dec 20 09:53:29 UTC 2016


When installing a kernel package, the symlinks created by
update-alternatives should point to a path relative to KERNEL_IMAGEDEST
and not an absolute path to '/boot'.

Failing to do so causes problems when resolving the symlink inside some
bootloaders which mount the boot partition elsewhere.
