Public bug reported:

Having upgraded a Dell PowerEdge from hardy to lucid we found it unable to 
boot, instead falling to an initramfs with an error that it couldn't find the 
root filesystem.
blkid -p on the boot device claimed ambivalent results due to multiple 
filesystem signatures.

Simply removing the (two) incorrect VFAT signatures on the device with
wipefs allowed the system to boot normally.
