Bug Description

Newer 64bit ISOs from Canonical use casper/vmlinuz.efi (not casper/vmlinuz), which means using current versions of UCK, a new casper/vmlinuz is generated, but the old casper/vmlinuz.efi is booted, along with a initrd generated for the newer updated kernel. This results in a boot failure, where the user is dropped into an initramfs shell.
