Title:
  [intrepid] initrd sometimes falls to busybox prompt

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  Hi,

  I am testing intrepid to help finding bugs :-)

  When I start booting my system, I need 5-6 times to get my machine
  booting. Often it falls back to the busybox prompt.

  When I use that prompt and change into /dev/vg01 directory, only the
  lv_p2 partition is seen there. So the lvm stuff does not find all
  partitions.

  My system is configured that way:

  mount
  /dev/mapper/vg01-lv_root on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
  tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
  /proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
  varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
  udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
  tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
  devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
  fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
  /dev/md0 on /boot type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
  /dev/mapper/vg01-lv_p1 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,data=writeback)
  /dev/sdb1 on /media/windows type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
  none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devgid=46,devmode=664)
  binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/croessner/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=croessner)

  Busybox is telling me that it can not find the given UUID. Combined
  with the missing lvm stuff, it is saying the truth :-)

  So it might be some timeing problems with scanning LVM
