Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mountall
Trying to boot a custom kernel without an initrd (hence using
root=/dev/sda5) causes the "waiting for /" message to be displayed, and
then no progress is made.
Booting the standard Ubuntu kernel with root=/dev/sda5 works. And doing
"sudo mount" shows that "/" is indeed mounted on /dev/sda5.
This custom kernel setup worked about 2 weeks ago. Now booting that same
kernel with an updated Ubuntu fails.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
By the way, a couple of minor unrelated bugs I ran into while testing this:
when "waiting" screen is up:
* pressing ESC --> "plymount main process killed by SEGV"
* pressing S --> "init: libvirt-bin respawning too fast"
