Yes, I guess the ugly hack feature does more harm than good. Anyway,
see alternative patches in bug #388407.
** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu)
Status: New = Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- rebuilt initrd with lvm fails to find live fs
+ [PATCH] fails to boot if RAID (dm-) devices are
I don't think it is necessary to rebuild the initrd to experience this
bug. The shipped initrd has built-in support for dmraid for example,
which creates dm-* devices. So you can't boot a Desktop CD if a RAID is
around. See bug #388407.

rebuilt initrd with lvm fails to find live fs
No dmraid machines around here, but yes, any virtual block devices
look as if they would cause problems, ditto any odd (non-PCI, non-
USB/IDE) hardware (perhaps on non x86 platforms.)
Do you know of / can you think of any situation where the ugly hack
would do anything useful? If not, I'd be
Slight correction to the earlier post: the problematic code in question
only seems to be called for non-USB/SCSI/IDE devices (anything whose
udev path doesn't match usb|pci-[^-]*-(ide|scsi|usb)) - I've no idea
what devices these might be - onboard flash memory (MTDs) in embedded
systems??
Anyway,
