Bug#428399: Fails to boot, cannot mount / partition: No such device



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.88
Severity: critical

- --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hi!
Upgrading from 0.87b to 0.88 fails to boot with this message and drops to 
busybox:

mount: Mounting /dev/sda5 on /root failed: No such device
[...]
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init

When I'm dropped to busybox, I can mount manually:
(initramfs)$ mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /root

And exitting from busybox resumes normal booting process
(initramfs)$ exit

Downgrading again to version 0.87b solves this behaviour.
If you need more info, let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Pau.
