Bug Description
We've successfully installed and ran preseeded Ubuntu Precise installs with the linux-generic-
This resulted in the first boot being on the linux-generic-
We seem to be unable to do the equivalent successfully with Ubuntu Trusty with linux-generic-
The installs does complete without apparent errors but when Grub attempts to boot the linux-generic-
When booting on the original 3.13 kernel (through Grub's Ubuntu 'Additional options'), the server boots successfully. By running update-grub, you can tell that it doesn't find the 3.16 initrd. Running update-initramfs to generate the 3.16 initrd will work and you will then be able to reboot into 3.16.
People on ask.ubuntu are coming up with hacks to manually run an update-initramfs in late_command but I feel we should fix the underlying problem: http://
I'm not sure if this is in the scope of initramfs-tools ? Feel free to re-assign..
Thanks.

You should be using the lts-trusty d-i images linked from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/netboot/ precise/ rather than trying to hack around it with preseeds.
