While upgrading from Edgy to Feisty, I also saw lots of "falling back to emergency procedure in initramfs" error messages scroll by. Before I rebooted, I applied Victor's "temporary solution" from above (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/98911/comments/12) and my machine booted up just fine. I do not use RAID.
Here are the specific commands:
------snip
sudo apt-get remove mdadm
sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
sudo sysv-rc-conf # Press space to "uncheck" each item on the mdadm and mdadm-radi lines)
sudo apt-get remove grub
sudo apt-get install grub
sudo update-grub
sudo dpkg --configure -a
------snap
