The typical /sbin/installkernel script does a cp "$2" "/boot/...", so
you can't use the already installed files as its arguments.

I guess that the problem is that grub2-mkconfig sees the temporary
/boot/vmlinuz-*-rpm file and creates a menu entry for it. I guess we
should create the temporary kernel and initrd files somewhere else than
in /boot.
