Well no, Felix isn't wrong. The package *manifest* lists those files
but the package itself does not actually contain them; they are
ghosted:
/lib/modules/%{KVERREL}%{?3:+%{3}}/%{?-k:%{-k*}}%{!?-k:vmlinuz}\
%ghost /%{image_install_path}/%{?-k:%{-k*}}%{!?-k:vmlinuz}-%{KVERREL}%{?3:+%{3}}\
/lib/modules/%{KVERREL}%{?3:+%{3}}/.vmlinuz.hmac \
%ghost /%{image_install_path}/.vmlinuz-%{KVERREL}%{?3:+%{3}}.hmac \
...
%ghost /boot/initramfs-%{KVERREL}%{?3:+%{3}}.img\
(that's from the spec file, and for Fedora, %image_install_path is "boot").
If you open the RPM up in file-roller or mc you will see it does not
really contain those files.
Something in the Kernel Install Industrial Complex is intended to
ultimately place files in those locations, and that something is not
firing for Felix for some reason, I think. But I don't remember the
details because there's like six different packages involved and I
always forget how it goes.
