Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Using the ubuntu-server amd64 daily CD from 20070411 I choose to do an LVM + LAMP installation. Upon rebooting the system after the successful installation I was presented with a busybox shell. Error messages on boot include:
"Begin: Mounting root file system... ...
Begin: Running /scipts/local-top ...
Done.
/init: /init: 1: cannot open /dev/root: No such device or address
Begin: Running /scripts/
Done." ...
"Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init"
My '/etc/lilo.conf' lists "root=/

Actually passing "root=/ dev/mapper/ vgtest- lvtest" works too. Using "break=top" and a cat of /proc/cmdline revealed that "root=fe00".
