As of 12/11/12, this seems to still be happening with a fresh install of
precise.

1) flash ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+omap4.img
2) boot pandaboard, run os configuration
3) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
4) sudo apt-add-repository ppa:tiomap-dev/release
5) sudo apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras
6) boom, pvr-omap4-dkms fails to build

In addition, after this

(a) the dpkg database behaves strangely for a while, seems to be locked
when I didn't expect anything to be using it; may be becuase the gui
"your system has had an error" bugreporter thing kicks in and takes a
*long* time to do its thing

(b) booting the new kernel is very unstable, on one attempt it was
hanging reliably at boot with something like"kernel BUG linux-ti-
omap4-3.4.0 page_alloc.c".  On one try (it takes about 2h for each
attempted install) I tried removing linux-headers-3.2.0-*-omap as
Ricardo suggested in bug 1033091 and then reinstalling pvr-omap4-dkms;
then I got it to boot further but system was still unstable, kernel
crashing with other mm looking error messages.  I just found
http://askubuntu.com/questions/201981/pandaboard-crash-on-startup-or-
freeze-after-minutes which basically suggests mem=1G@0x80000000 and u
-boot-linaro-omap4-panda, maybe will try that.

Title:
  Packages requiring dkms at Pandaboard (omap 4) will also pull linux-
  headers-generic because current dkms dependencies

Status in “dkms” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux-ti-omap4” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The PowerVR SGX kernel module package for Pandaboard depends on linux-
  headers-omap4 (headers package for the Omap 4 based kernel) and DKMS,
  but when installing the package DKMS will also pull linux-headers-
  generic, forcing the module build to happen with both kernel headers
  package, besides wasting quite a few extra megabytes.
