Bug#546610: initramfs-tools: Does not honor root= call in cmdline

[Agustin Martin <agustin.martin@hispalinux.es>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I noticed that with an initrd image created by means of sid initramfs-tools
I can no longer select another root filesystem. It always boots with sid
root, the filesystem that was root when the initrd image was created. While
I tried to boot a testing box as root the sid box (where the initrd was
created) results booted as root. /proc/cmdline has the expected value,

root=/dev/mapper/lvm-testing ro

I however can do that from an initrd image created from lenny with lenny
initrd-tools and kernel 2.6.26.

I am doing this in a box having everything but boot in lvm inside of an
encrypted volume.
