Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
When I setup my system to use raid1 partitions:
md1 /boot
md2 swap
md3 lvm
And lvm as:
lvm1 /
lvm2 /etc
Next time I restart my system I'll get this error:
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...
init: Error parsing configuration: No such file or directory
[ ... ] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I managed to get the system to boot by mounting up the root and etc partition and move the whole etc-content to the root and remove the entry from fstab. I reported this problem for debian-installer in case you're not allowed to have the etc-partition setup that way.

A separate /etc partition is definitely not possible with any conceivable method of installing Ubuntu. partman-target (or something nearby) should check and forbid this.
