This makes it impossible to certify the machines in this lab that have
i350 NICs because I need to be able to install and boot that kernel to
fix a bug in the igb driver in older kernels.

Title:
  Installing latest kernel packages on 12.04.4 via dpkg makes system
  unbootable.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
