Title:
  Karmic netboot install fails to configure kernel when doing a
  'targeted' kernel

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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:
