Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

I have a GeForce7050M-M with a Phenom X3 processor. Currently running
Intrepid 2.6.27-13-generic AMD64. The system has two hard disks
configured as RAID 1 using the motherboard RAID (I know its fake RAID).
The system is further configured with LVM2.

Things work fine with the Intrepid kernel  2.6.27-13-generic. Menu.lst
says things like:

title		Ubuntu jaunty (development branch), kernel 2.6.27-13-generic
root		(hd0,1)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-13-generic root=/dev/mapper/nvidia_gdcfaafd2 iommu=noaperture ro iommu=noaperture splash 
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-13-generic

When booting with the 2.6.28-11 kernel, initramfs is *not* able to find
the root device and times out.

There are substantial differences in the size of the initrd for
2.6.27-13 and 2.6.28-11 which suggests that the initramfs is not having
all the modules.
