I attempted to follow the guidelines:
You need a hook to fix this. Create a file named renamekernel.binary. Place this in the hook dir. The file should have the following contents: mv binary/live/initrd.img-* binary/live/initrd.lz mv binary/live/vmlinuz-* binary/live/vmlinuz I my config/hooks/renamekernel.binary is executable, and has the contents: mv binary/live/initrd.img-* binary/live/initrd.img mv binary/live/vmlinuz-* binary/live/vmlinuz but with 'lb build', I get this error: P: Begin executing hooks... mv: target `binary/live/initrd.img' is not a directory mv: target `binary/live/vmlinuz' is not a directory E: config/hooks/renamekernel.binary failed (exit non-zero). You should check for errors. I can change to binary/live/ and manually rename the kernel and initrd, but I can't figure out why the mv command fails in the hooks script. Ah wait, I can, but I'll continue this in case someone else has the problem: I have both 486 and 686-pae kernels and initrd in the directory, to mv is looking for a dir. Deleting the unwanted kernel and initrd will fix. Configuring lb config to only supply one kernel will prevent recurrence.
