I was trying to debug a bug that turned out to be the sysfs bang bug in the initrd with the 2.6 kernel and I noticed that the reason it's falling back to sysfs in the first place seems to be because the linuxrc does not run (wasn't that removed from many kernels or not supported on all arches anyway; remember that d-i stopped using it last spring for various reasons), and so bin/root does not exist, and it always has to fall back to sysfs. Anyway, until this bug is fixed, I cannot do automated install testing on i386/2.6. I really don't understand what the delay is, we've had a tested, working patch for 2 months. -- see shy jo
