I would focus on that failed mount command. Look in /usr/share/initramfs-tool/scripts/init-bottom/ and you will find some scripts. Pick through the sh code looking for the appropriate mount statement. See if you can debug that thing. I've mentioned this before, but I don't have clear evidence that it's not my fault and so haven't pursued it closely (time is a factor as well). Namely, several of the commands appear to be broken or at least "different" in the current crop of initrds. I see this cropping up in my custom boot scripts that unlock luks partitions in particular. at least mount and sed aren't working properly (as I'd expect anyway). There may be others. A
