[Bug 1292265] [NEW] Installing latest kernel packages on 12.04.4 via dpkg makes system unbootable.

 

Public bug reported:

I ran into this while taking a stock 12.04.4 system and manually
installing the latest SRU kernel 3.11.0-18.

The system is in a test lab that does not allow any internet connection
to test machines, thus I must manually install everything.

So, I did the following:

downloaded the linux-image, linux-headers packages from archive.ubuntu.com for 3.11.0-18 for 12.04.4 amd 64
installed them as follows:
dpkg -i linux*.deb

(there were three packages, linux-image, linux-headers and linux-
headers*all)

THe packages successfully installed, but when I rebooted, I saw an error
stating that the disk could no longer be found, and was dumped to a
busybox shell (which  didn't work).

I've attached a screen shot that shows what I saw.
