Oh, so it's update-grub calling update-initramfs, which could complicate things. Quite honestly, I don't see why you want to make what are essentially backup files into part of the working set for both Grub and initramfs, meaning they have to process duplicate files. Any time you have a set of files that you're happy with, why not just copy them to another directory, like /boot/backups/, adding suitable suffixes. With Grub's flexibility, it's very easy to boot from those copies instead. Press e at the blue screen, and tweak the filenames. If you forget where they are or what they're called, press c instead and go hunting with ls. Cheers, David.
