udev missing input_id in initramfs

[Andy Whitcroft]

During boot a large number of /lib/udev/input_id errors are emitted. It seems that we do not include input_id in the initramfs when building it.

It seems we need to add input_id to the udev initramfs hook. See associated branch for the fix.

This bug was fixed in the package udev - 173-0ubuntu3

---------------
udev (173-0ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Include input_id in the initramfs to prevent errors when enumerating
    devices in early init (LP: #831516).

Description: rule-based device node and kernel event manager
 udev is a collection of tools and a daemon to manage events received from
 the kernel and deal with them in user-space. Primarily this involves
 creating and removing device nodes in /dev when hardware is discovered or
 removed from the system.
-------------------------------------------------

I make an installation from the 'alternate dailly' on with lvm partitions. The root directory is: /dev/mapper/vaio-root

at startup I have a list of error:
------------------------------------------------
udevd[207]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/input_id' 'input_id /devices/LNXSYSTEM:00/device:00/PNP0C0C:00/input/input1': not such file or directory

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
   - Check root= (did the system wait for the right devive?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/vaio-root does not exist. Drpping to a shell!
------------------------------------------------

/dev/mapper/ is empty !

lvm2 is not active at boot

You don't seem to be running the fixed version (173-0ubuntu3). However, it doesn't seem to have reached here (Swedish mirror), either.
