There is a new version of the script in rawhide, you can also created a symlink 
and use the new name. 

There are few others things that might be missing like serial console detection,
so will likely need to add that to the extlinux.conf. 

So far in my testing the 4.2 kernel seems to have an issue with mSD, but does find
the eMMC on the beaglebone black. Let us know how it goes for you!
