Bug Description
Installing Quantal on highbank fails.
During the install, we get this:
Aug 9 16:47:59 in-target: Unpacking linux-image-
Aug 9 16:48:00 in-target: Done.
Aug 9 16:48:14 in-target: Selecting previously unselected package linux-firmware.

What I expect to see instead is this:
Selecting previously unselected package linux-image-
(Reading database ... 38503 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking linux-image-
Done.

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/

flash-kernel: installing version 3.5.0-8-highbank
Generating boot script u-boot image... done.
Installing new boot.scr.
The initrd is not created, and this causes flash-kernel to fail later. The installer then reports an error.
Workaround: drop into a shell. Then:
mount -o bind /proc /target/proc
mount -o bind /sys /target/sys
chroot /target /bin/bash
dpkg -P linux-image-
apt-get install -y linux-image-
umount /target/proc /target/sys
exit
Then resume with "Make the system bootable"

Full syslog attached. I think this is due to the update-initramfs diversion done by flash-kernel. There have been relevant changes recently which I think coincide with this regression.
