[Bug 1398478] Re: Using dynamic kernel/udeb seeds for stable releases is suboptimal

[Adam Conrad]

I'll probably switch back to the old hardcoding the kernel version in
the seeds method only for LTSes, just to avoid this annoyance (and
another bug that's equally difficult to work around).

** Summary changed:

- 14.04.1 daily image fails to install on a ppc64el guest
+ Using dynamic kernel/udeb seeds for stable releases is suboptimal

  Using dynamic kernel/udeb seeds for stable releases is suboptimal

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Installing 14.04.1 daily (2014-12-02) image on a guest (Using Ubuntu
  as the host) fails, with the following screen:

  Installation step failed               
  An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item  again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The 
  failing step is: Install the system .

  Looking at syslog it says:

   Dec  2 16:06:57 base-installer: error:
  /cdrom/install/filesystem.squashfs has failed to be mounted as
  squashfs.

  I am also attaching the full log here.
