Title:
Karmic netboot install fails to configure kernel when doing a
'targeted' kernel
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Trying to install Karmic from the netboot install, all goes well until
I have to select a kernel. If I select any kernel in the list, for
example linux-generic, then select to do a 'targeted' build of the
kernel, it fails. This is an extract of the syslog from the failed
install:
