Public bug reported:
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:
