Public bug reported:
>From a working Quantal installation on a Highbank node, I ran into a
couple of issues:
1) linux-image-generic is not installed by default (though linux-image-highbank
is removed)
2) after an `apt-get-install linux-image-generic` the flash-kernel run-parts
routine complains about generic not being a supported flavour for highbank
systems.
I temporarily fixed this by manually updating /usr/share/flash-
kernel/db/all.db

... though I suppose multiple entries for "Kernel-Flavor:" would work as

After this, I re-ran the kernel's postinst.d:

Taking backup of boot.scr.
Installing new boot.scr.
I'm now able to boot 3.8.0-16.26-generic (3.8.5) after upgrade without
any issues.
