Public bug reported:

I've just started looking at adding Ubuntu Raring to my 'netinstall'
script: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall  and just run into
a fun issue with this commit:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/raring/flash-
kernel/raring/revision/447

Since there's no way to actually stop "flash-kernel-installer" from
running, I've been faking things, just to make it happy, which has
worked very well in the last two release's.

here's the log from what i see:

Mar 15 21:18:39 in-target: Setting up flash-kernel (3.0~rc.4ubuntu29) ...

When chrooting  into /target/ to see what it is returning...

# linux-version list

#

Just a blank line..

#uname -r
3.7.10-x9

If i then manually patch

/var/lib/dpkg/info/flash-kernel-installer.postinst

and restart the "flash-kernel" option it finishes the install just
fine..

So, going forward I'd really like to keep supporting "no longer
supported by Ubuntu" boards such as the original Beagle, imx51/imx53,
etc... Along with boards Ubuntu doesn't currently support
BeagleBone/BeagleBoneBlack, or ANY mainline boards coming down the pipe
from CM's/etc..
