Bug Description
The topic says it all: I'm unable to install 10.04 on a HP 460c G6 blade unless I use the release kernel. The newer ones that I had or was able to get (2.6.32-25.44, 2.6.32-24.38) were buggy and gave me that error:
Oct 27 07:43:20 kernel: [ 1474.884989] cciss: Unknown symbol compat_
which means that the installation fails with "no root file system defined" -error, and this is a regression.

This is weird.. I checked which image was used when I installed an identical machine* in August, and it was the one based on 2.6.32-24.38.. So, is this due to the security changes that removed compat_ alloc_user_ space in September, meaning that there needs to be an installer image refresh against the latest kernel in archive?
* only the blade chassis is different, which means more virtual NIC's in this one
