No response

Image file download link (if applicable)

http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p10/images/simply/x86_64/slinux-10.1-x86_64.iso

What happened?

iso images ALT Linux may include two or more kernels. Accordingly, in addition to /boot/initrd.img, there is also /boot/initrd-.img
Examples of such images:
http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p10/images/simply/x86_64/slinux-10.1-x86_64.iso
http://nightly.altlinux.org/sisyphus/tested/regular-xfce-latest-x86_64.iso

Needed:

Instead of vt_linux_specify_initrd_file, vt_linux_specify_initrd_files should be processed, who include the found known initrd variants.
Find /boot/initrd*.img, /boot/full*.cz etc.

Is this possible to implement?
