Wow, thank you for the exhaustive investigation. This information will prove very useful.

I think I am going to set this bug report under the installation package instead of the Ubuntu package. -- Missing kernel after 9.10 installation from extra partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474196 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
