Title:
  KVM ubuntu 12.04.2 guest installation with kickstart config fails

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  * a kickstart tree with the ubuntu 12.04.2 server amd64 files is available on the KVM host (CentOS 6.3) (mounted via NFS)
  * the kickstart file is available as a local file on the KVM host
  * installation is done using virt-install

  virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name test --location
  =/kickstart-trees/ubuntu1204 --ram=2048 --vcpus=2 --disk vol=iscsi-
  storage/unit:0:0:31,cache=none --os-type=linux
  --network=bridge:br0,model=virtio --network=bridge:br1,model=virtio
  --initrd-inject=/home/someuser/ubuntu1204ks.cfg -x
  "ks=file:/ubuntu1204ks.cfg console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200"

  Starting install...
  Retrieving file version.info...                                                           |  116 B     00:00 ... 
  ERROR    Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree.

  the virt-install.log file contains the information below - it seems it
  is erroneously looking for

  /kickstart-trees/ubuntu1204/install/netboot/ubuntu-
  installer/i386/linux

  instead of

  /kickstart-trees/ubuntu1204/install/netboot/ubuntu-
  installer/amd64/linux
