Ubiquity: No vmlinuz* after install. 20.04.2

[Stepan]

[Workaround]

If you install while completely offline (do not connect WiFi, do not plug in network cable) then the bug doesn't happen. You can then connect in the installed system just fine.

[Impact]

 * Certain SKUs of laptops; when networking is enabled; complete the installation successfully, without installing any kernel on the system rendering it unbootable.

[Test Case]

 * Start install on a relevant SKU

 * Enable networking on

 * Ensure that after the installation kernel packages are installed in /target

 * Reboot to observe that installed

[Where problems could occur]

 * Hopefully we will not remove kernels again.... especially the one we want to boot.

[Other Info]

 * Original bug report

I was installing ubuntu on my fresh new notebook and found that kernel packages wasn't installed. As workaround to run the system I had to chroot into /target to complete installation.

I have one disk and it was partitioned as GPT.

Initialy I thought it was a problem with boot loader but I had installed debian without issue(except it not provide proper firmware).
Then I tried to boot into ubuntu from debian's grub and found that there are no kernels.

It took me 2 days(((

oem-qemu-meta

* To ensure this doesn't happen again, we must update the test oem-qemu-meta package to match the behaviour of the other similar packages in the oem archive.

The Hirsute Hippo has reached End of Life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release.
