Bug#361741: Fail to mount root filesystem

[Cesare Leonardi <celeonar@tiscali.it>]

Before reading your message i've tryed to follow the script launched 
inside initramfs and i suspected that something went wrong in line 39 of 
the script "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local":

eval eval $(fstype < ${ROOT})

# which fstype

#fstype < /dev/hda2
FSTYPE=LVM2

Bingo! We are all right!  :-)
My root filesystem is EXT3 and is mistaken for LVM2.

In the meantime, i've seen bug #362631 that shows the same problem and 
that make thing even more clear.
Infact, before installing Debian, i have played a bit with LVM, RAID and 
the other disk options offered by the debian-installer. So even this bug 
seems to belong the the category of a "previous LVM filesystem reused as 
EXT3".

I think the maintainer can reassign this bug to klibc or merge with #362631.

Regards.

Cesare.
