Hi Bas,

I see the following in your DpkgTerminalLog.txt file:

update-initramfs is disabled since running on a live CD
Failed to symbolic-link /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic to initrd.img.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 17

This is actually a duplicate of bug 292159 which was a bug in capser. It should be fixed as of casper version 1.162. Please be sure you've updated to this newer version. For now I'm marking this as a duplicate to bug 292159. Thanks.
