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.

failure was due to partition not properly formated.

latest initramfs-tools reverted back to fstype
which is more solid in recognizing partitions,
thus closing.
