[Bug 412316] Re: Karmic netboot install fails to configure kernel when doing a 'targeted' kernel

[H.-Dirk Schmitt]

The problem behind error message in #4 is that  /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/hook-functions  can't evaluate the root partition in a chroot
environment.

As a workaround add inside the chroot environment as 1st line to
/etc/mtab the correct view of your root partition.

I have run in this after a broken kernel update in lucid (to  2.6.32-24-generic) on some i386 machines.
dpkg -configure -a in a chroot environment failed with the error message noted above.
