Bug Description
I was trying to zero in a problem on Precise, Linux 3.2, and -- perhaps -- encrypted LVM. So I booted, under the 3.2 kernel, into recovery -- and was greeted by a message stating
"Couldn't find whiptail, starting root shell instead of recovery menu."
Indeed, at this point in time my /usr has not, yet, been mounted.
End result: friendly-recovery is not available as /usr is a different filesystem.
