I run into this bug yesterday when I upgraded my laptop from edgy to feisty.
I have an encypted root filesystem (dm-crypt + LUKS) on /dev/sda3. The initramfs hook script from cryptsetup tries to open /dev/sda3 before the device has been created wich obvously fails so that the machine can't boot. Adding a 5 second sleep at the end of 'init-premount/udev' fixes the problem for me as well, but that is not really a nice solution. -- initramfs scripts kill initial "coldplug" udev processing before devices needed for root filesystem are loaded https://launchpad.net/bugs/89366 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
