[Bug 990397] [NEW] Multiples packages fails to install when using NFS root

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have an nfs root on one of my boxes - I made it to upgrade for ubuntu version 12.
I have not installed grub on the box but seems the installation requires it (and some other packages); thus upgrade installed but failed to configure these packages:

 friendly-recovery
 linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic-pae
 linux-image-generic-pae
 grub-pc

After upgrade, I removed  friendly-recovery, grub-pc-bin, grub2-common,
grub-common and grub-pc, which enabled the kernel package(s) to be
configured correctly.

Also; I got these warnings while configuration was being made:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic-pae
cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/nfs
cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab
