The kernel is named '/boot/vmlinuz-' followed by the kernel version as reported by 'uname -r'. The boot loader must also use the new initramfs image which is named '/boot/initrd.img-' followed by the kernel version. These are the same filenames as in previous versions of the package so normally the boot loader would load them without any reconfiguration.
