cPanel Ubuntu 20 ELevate blocker: /boot/vmlinuz missing

When running the cPanel ELevate check on Ubuntu 20, you may encounter the following blocker:

* Elevation Blocker detected: ***
Unable to determine running and boot kernels due to the following error:
(XID tgrc4n) The system failed to read "/boot/vmlinuz" as a symbolic link because of an error: No such file or directory

Create the missing symlinks:

ln -sf /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) /boot/vmlinuz
ln -sf /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) /boot/initrd.img

Then re-run the ELevate check to confirm no further blockers:

/scripts/elevate-cpanel --check

For the full Ubuntu 20 ELevate process, see the cPanel ELevate Ubuntu 20 guide.
