Bug Description
Hello,
after making few modifications on an Ubuntu systems and installing a new kernel,
the thing failed to boot. I realized that the problem was caused by the new kind
of initrd images created by mkinitramfs. I took me some time to understand what
is going on because the error messages are not helpful at all. The reason was
that I have beeing using the old syntax for the root fs, /dev/vgname/lvname, but
this breaks with the script used in the initramfs. Please make it get the root
name also from the /dev/vgname/... strings and not expect
/dev/mapper/

Hi Eduard,
Do you still have this issue when installing a new kernel on Dapper Beta?
Thank you for reporting this bug.
