Bug Description
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
I have a GeForce7050M-M with a Phenom X3 processor. Currently running Intrepid 2.6.27-13-generic AMD64. The system has two hard disks configured as RAID 1 using the motherboard RAID (I know its fake RAID). The system is further configured with LVM2.
Things work fine with the Intrepid kernel 2.6.27-13-generic. Menu.lst says things like:
title Ubuntu jaunty (development branch), kernel 2.6.27-13-generic
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-
initrd /boot/initrd.
When booting with the 2.6.28-11 kernel, initramfs is *not* able to find the root device and times out.
There are substantial differences in the size of the initrd for 2.6.27-13 and 2.6.28-11 which suggests that the initramfs is not having all the modules.

Was able to boot 2.6.28-11 using "initrd. img-2.6. 27-13-generic"
