[Bug 293335] [NEW] initramfs not rebuilt during upgrade (machines with root on lvm or md fail to boot)

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Upgrade 8.04 --> 8.10 does not rebuild initramfs for new kernels (or at
least I guess so).

I tested this upgrade on two machines. First: desktop with root on
mdadm-managed mirror, second: desktop with root on LVM. In both cases
system failed to boot after upgrade (kernel couldn't find root
filesystem)

Boot from the old kernel still was possible. On the first machine 'dpkg-
reconfigure mdadm' allowed me to boot from the new kernel. Second
machine not tested yet.

** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
