Title:
  preseed: pkgsel/include linux-image-generic-lts-raring won't create
  initrd and render system unbootable

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

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'm using a preseed file to install precise but like to install the backported raring kernel (linux-image-generic-lts-raring).
  This is what I used regarding the package selection (if necessary, I can provide the full preseed file):

      tasksel tasksel/skip-tasks string standard
      tasksel tasksel/first multiselect ubuntu-minimal
      d-i pkgsel/include string linux-image-generic-lts-raring openssh-server lxc-docker
      d-i pkgsel/update-policy select none

  
  After the installer finishes, grub boots the raring kernel (3.8) but panics:

      [    2.733887] VFS: Cannot open root device "mapper/ubuntu--vg-
  root"

  After booting the old kernel I figured out that there was no initrd. I
  supposed that running update-initramfs manually would have fixed that
  problem, but I rather reverted to my old preseed file and installer
  linux-image-generic-lts-raring manually. This creates an initrd and
  everything works as expected.
