Title:
  should map old LVM syntax (/dev/vgname/lvname) syntax to devmapper

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hello,

  after making few modifications on an Ubuntu systems and installing a new kernel,
  the thing failed to boot. I realized that the problem was caused by the new kind
  of initrd images created by mkinitramfs. I took me some time to understand what
  is going on because the error messages are not helpful at all. The reason was
  that I have beeing using the old syntax for the root fs, /dev/vgname/lvname, but
  this breaks with the script used in the initramfs. Please make it get the root
  name also from the /dev/vgname/... strings and not expect
  /dev/mapper/vgname-lvname only.
