Bug Description

I used uck and manual live cd customization with chroot. I remastered a 14.04 xubuntu livecd.
Done a successfull apt-get dist-upgrade in chroot using workarounds from Bug #1325142 and Bug #1211933.
But the cd won't boot due to initramfs initrd.img-3.13.0-34-generic updated during upgrade.

I got a 'unable to find a medium containing a live file system' message error and a busybox shell.

last boot messages were : 'mount: mounting /dev/sr0 on /cdrom failed: No such device'

I finally got something to work.

to summarize :
I first applied patches from bug #1325142 to avoid package installation errors while issuing dist-upgrade.
THEN
I applied patch from bug #1325142.

I succesfully remastered a xubuntu 14.04.1 64 bits iso with dist-upgrade in chroot and guess what :

It boots !
