Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev

I have Kubuntu Jaunty installation (based on clean Alpha2 install) and have 
both / and /home on LVM (+ /boot on /dev/sda1). System is up-to-date.
Today's udev upload has broken the system for me: kernel cannot find root 
device and I am dropped in BusyBox.

While exploring what could be wrong in initramfs, I have seen that 
/dev/udev/rules.d is not a directory, but actually a file.
When looking at the content, it matches the content of 
/etc/udev/rules.d/85-lvm2.rules. It does not get executed, therefore no LVM 
logical volumes are created.

Workaround for this problem is to execute the following command in
BusyBox:

/sbin/lvm vgscan
/sbin/lvm vgchange -a y
exit

This performs proper setup of LVM and the kernel can then boot properly.

P.S. Was not sure if the bug is in udev/lvm2/initramfs-tools package,
but I thought udev is most likely as it was changed the last.
