Still there on Feisty.
I just had this problem (Stans, except I only have a boot partition and a 
ubuntu partition, no Fedora) when upgrading to feisty using apt-get 
dist-upgrade. After rebooting, feisty doesn't see my VolumeGroup 
/dev/mapper/vg1, stalling around the the line look"device-mapper: 4?-ioctl 
initialized. 
 have finally managed to boot into an old kernel 2.6.15-26. This was actually a 
surprise, when booting into the old kernel the boot procedure stalled about 
five minutes (something about  waiting for raid), but now finally I have a root 
terminal open. Sorry I can't be more specific now, but I am afraid to reboot 
again until I have solved the problem. Now at least I have got some clues from 
the answers above, thanks.

If apt-get dist-upgrade is an obsolete and dangerous method of updating,
maybe one could add a clear Warning message when trying to do it? Now I
read afterwards on a forum that there is a new safer method of updating,
I should probably have tried that instead. It would be nice if apt-get
had told me too. Maybe a script that filters out dist-upgrade and shows
warnings before calling the real apt-get.
