Bug Description

After the fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-kernel/+bug/1055938 I tried to install with the netboot image and the bootloader installation step failed. Going through the syslog, I found:

Sep 25 20:59:57 in-target: Unpacking u-boot-tools (from .../u-boot-tools_2012.04.01-2_armhf.deb) ...

Sep 25 21:00:44 in-target: /dev/mmcblk0p1 is not a block device
Sep 25 21:00:57 flash-kernel-installer: error: flash-kernel failed

On my mmc card, I don't see any /dev/mmcblk0p1 so it appears that something along the way removed it.

Attaching syslog and partman logs from the installation, these are the only two logs it left in /var/log

This bug was fixed in the package flash-kernel - 3.0~rc.4ubuntu26

---------------
flash-kernel (3.0~rc.4ubuntu26) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  * make sure that /dev is bind mounted in /target when running
    update-initramfs from flash-kernel-installer, else we do not find the boot
    media (this is only a workaround for LP: #1056482 actual fixing of the
    netinst environment is needed to fix this properly)
