(Get the code!)
I guess that the original reporter really did mean "not needed", but it my case, it causes a bug :)
I have just checked, it is still present after recreating my initramfs. The problem is that it can not find my LVM volume by UUID.
The strange thing is that /etc/fstab has also been modified to use UUID (making it much less nice to edit manually) and it did not cause any problem, though my /home partition is also a LVM one and it does _NOT_ appear in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ !!
My exact setup is LVM on software RAID 5. I am not very fluent with the initramfs process so I can not tell in which state it is when it drops me the busybox shell, but I could give you output of commands run from it if needed.
LVM "partitions" are under /dev/mapper/ and the user can choose their name. Mine are called: vg_$VG-
where $VG designs the volume group to which it belongs, $HOST is my hostname (to avoid clashes when adding disks from a similar installation from another host) and $PART is the role of this volume (home, root32 and root64 in my case).
