always exciting, don't know when I did last my kernel install on this machine.
forza unlimited history in my root bash, so the mkinitrd command and the copying to EFI folder was still there ;-)
to me it seems the EFI is much smother than the old bios boot MBR update, problem is only, I do this so seldom, I forget always how things work
The links are broken, of course. I found the lines in the package install script that creates those links. I can see how a failed cd could lead to those symlinks being created, but I don't know why it would fail.
Anyway, the (non-arm) system is running fine. I was just caught off-guard by the stray files.

fingers crossed?
Remember to run lilo before the reboot. I know you know this. I updated 3 -stable boxes and one -current box. Smooth as silk. No need to cross fingers.
