/boot/vmlinuz-linux-cachyos-lts and initramfs-linux-cachyos-lts.img kept after installation

Hi there - It seems that after installation, both /boot/vmlinuz-linux-cachyos-lts and initramfs-linux-cachyos-lts.img are kept after installation, even though I am using Limine bootloader.

Also, after installation /etc/calamares/scripts are kept, even though they are empty.

Thats fine, or not?

No, as in Lumine vmlinuz and initramfs are found in /boot/(machine-id)/linux-cachyos-lts. vmlinuz and initramfs found at /boot are not used by anything if you don't use grub nor systemd-boot.

It seems to be an issue as if you uninstall the lts kernel and then reinstall it, both the vmlinuz and initramfs disappear from /boot, being found just in /boot/(machine-id)/linux-cachyos-lts, where it is supposed to be

I've just made a clean VM install and it seems that, after installation, the unneeded vmlinuz and initramfs are found on /boot, but as soon as there is an kernel update they are removed. So it seems that the first the kernel install through Calamares creates vmlinuz and initramfs for grub, systemd-boot and limine by creating vmlinuz and initramfs on both /boot and on /boot/(machineid). But, as soon there is an kernel update, only vmlinuz and initramfs are kept /boot/(machineid), as Limine requires.
