The first reboot also did. But then I `apt-get upgrade'd and rebooted
again. Booting stops with ``Waiting for root file system...'', dropping
into a shell after some time. There I run `insmod ide-disk', followed by
`vgchange -ay vg0' (my root file system is on LVM) and exit the shell to
successfully boot the system.
Installed are
- initramfs-tools 0.60
- udev 0.085-1
- linux-image-2.6.15-1-486 2.6.15-8
- linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 2.6.15-8
I tried with both kernel images.
As a workaround, I put ``ide-disk'' into the otherwise-empty
/etc/mkinitramfs/modules and rebuilt the initrd.

$ udevinfo -p /block/hda -a
udevinfo starts with the device the node belongs to and then walks up the
device chain, to print for every device found, all possibly useful attributes
in the udev key format.
Only attributes within one device section may be used together in one rule,
to match the device for which the node will be created.
