Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92a
Severity: important

This seems very similar to reported (old) bugs, but it's a change in 
behavior for me so I'm opening this new problem to flag it. I recently 
updated to version 0.92 (I believe -- a couple days prior to 0.92a, 
which also exhibits the problem). Boots using initrds built after that 
upgrade do not complete automatically...

scripts/local-top/mdadm runs immediately, without waiting for device 
discovery to complete, and of course fails to start anything because the 
devices don't exist (usually for about another 30-40 seconds). Then lvm2 
can't find anything, and after a timeout I get punted into the shell.

Manual recovery (assuming I sit in front of the system) is easy:
# scripts/local-top/mdadm
# scripts/local-top/lvm2
# exit

But this sucks for unattended reboots, obviously. :-p Maybe I should 
blame udev instead, but I don't know how to finger the guilty party.

Set the rootdelay parameter on the kernel prompt / in grub.
