please retest with latest initramfs-tools and udev from unstable,
that issue should be fixed, i`ve at least 2 reported successes.

in order to regenerate your initramfs you need to
dpkg-reconfigure your linux image package.
or you want to call "update-initramfs -t -u -k 2.6.14-1-686"
replace 2.6.14-1-686 with your exact uname -r output.

thanks
