This was fixed in the 4.2 sync which hit Ubuntu in Precise. Closing out
for there and later as it works there. We are not likely to fix Lucid
at this late stage in its life.

Bug description:
If I build a kernel (from kernel.org) and do a 'make install'
it runs /sbin/installkernel which doesn't work right on my system (fresh
install
from CD).
Because of a couple of problems. First, the script expects that
/boot/vmlinuz is
a symlink to the existing kernel (ditto for initrd), this is not how Ubuntu
with
GRUB
is installed. Making the symlink made the script run, but there was no entry
in
/boot/grub/menu.lst for the new kernel.
Second problem is that installkernel doesn't make and install initrd, as it
does
on other distro's (Suse, Redhat). Since the default config depends on ext3
and other
drivers being in initrd, this prevents the new kernel from booting.
The whole process of installing a new kernel does work out of the box on Suse,
and Fedora.
Suse uses one entry in grub/menu.lst but makes new symlinks.
Fedora adds new entries in grub/menu.lst for each kernel built.
