Bug Description
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
The postinst trigger calls update-initramfs which fails on "Cannot find mtd partition 'Kernel'"
Configuration: eMMC memory, so no NAND MTD partition

Here's a quick 'n dirty workaround reported by Olivier Naudan. This is not a fix at all, of course!
$ sudo vi /var/lib/
# Add "exit 0" at the beginning of the script
$ sudo dpkg --configure initramfs-tools
$ sudo vi /var/lib/
# Remove "exit 0"

@ogra: I would guess that this is because the flash script has not been updated yet to support Blaze eMMC. It detects properly that it does not boot from SD card, so it then believes it is running from NAND. Is that correct?

flash-kernel looks for /etc/flash-
https:/
if /etc/flash-
we are a) missing a switch for RAW partitons yet as the blaze needs and b) a method to handle these kind of partitions at all.

this is a whishlist item for a feature non of the ubuntu images provides yet, there is no need to release note it.
for oneiric we have a spec to discuss building images with raw partitions instead of (or additionally to) vfat, if this gets implemented, flash-kernel will get support for such kind of images. before we have general support for raw boot partitions, we will neither need to milestone nor release note this whishlist item.
