Ubuntu local loopback device missing [SOLVED]

[Mario Fetka]

i have found the reason fot this errors.
for some resons the bootstrap image is extracted to the root device and after 
that the other partitions are mounted 
so bootstrap -> /target
mount var partition -> /target/var

but befor mount there were already some files in /target/var

my solution was remove the need for an extra var partition and put averything 
to / (modifie relevant disk_config)

now kubuntu feisty is happy
