Bug Description
geninitrd-10000-2 invoked with --initrdfs initramfs.
I use grub. kernel cmdline looks like root=/dev/hda1.
initrd can't mount /root because it tries to mount /dev/hda10.
The problems is that init (from initrd) use awk to find something in /proc/partition in such way:
grep hda1 /proc/partition
I've got many partitions and unfortunately 'hda1' matches 'hda1' and 'hda10'.
Attached patch fixes this bug (and I'm almost sure it would not break anything)
