missing kernel symlink following upgrade? [SOLVED]
I just updated my system and went to change my /boot/grub/menu.lst to point to the new kernel images rather than the symlinks.
following that I went to remove the symlinks but found that there wasn't one for the vmlinuz image (just the ramdisk ones)
obviously this hasn't caused me any problems because I edited my bootloader before rebooting but I was wondering if this were the case for others who upgraded or it was some weird quirk on my system?
Obviously if it's a bug it's pretty important but just wanted to check that I'm not missing something obvious? anyone else had this issue?

In my /boot folder, I had three symlinks and If I remember there was a vmlinuz26 symlink pointing to vmlinuz-linux.

ah, thanks. silly me. I had a custom 3.0 kernel installed :S that explains that then, my bad.
I shall mark the thread solved then go beat myself up for being stoopid.
