[Bug 1037607] Re: vmbuilder completely fails on Quantal due to kernel pae detection failure

[Juha Erkkilä]

I can also reproduce the problem. The problem is that /proc mounts and
unmounts before the kernel is installed, and the kernel package assumes
/proc is mounted. Here's some log actions:

2012-10-19 15:39:55,701 DEBUG   : ['chroot', '/virtualtmp/tmpPq2rS0', 'mount', '-t', 'proc', 'proc', '/proc']
2012-10-19 15:40:09,171 DEBUG   : ['umount', '/virtualtmp/tmpPq2rS0/proc']
2012-10-19 15:40:19,965 DEBUG   : Unpacking linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic (from .../linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic_3.5.0-17.28_i386.deb) ...

Attached is a patch that worked for me. One can also work around the
issue by explicitly installing linux-image-generic at an earlier stage
by providing "--addpkg linux-image-generic" option to vmbuilder.
