What two places? On rawhide we have one on the iso under /images/pxeboot/
and another inside the install.img under /usr/lib/modules...

I think I tried removing the kernel from the install.img at one point,
but it ended up being required for FIPS (see
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/issues/1021).  And when there were 2
kernels on the iso they were hardlinked (one under pxeboot and the other
under isolinux).
