Sorry, i don't know udev in details, but i don't understand why you have
reassigned this bug to initramfs-tools.

As you can see initramfs-tool was not touched. There was an update of
udev, libklibc and klibc-utils: to me these are the most suspicious
packages. I have blamed udev because following the messages on the
screen i have found a script under /scripts that is responsible to mount
the root filesystem and since this fails with apparently no motivation
(if i mount the root partition manually without doing anything else, it
works) i suspected udev.
Please, can you explain a bit why you think that the problem stay in
initramfs-tools?
For information, my system is unbootable yet. During the last update,
the installation of the new kernel hasn't changed anything.
What really surprise me is that no one apart me has reported a similar
problem. My configuration is rather "standard", with no particular
tweaking in the udev-initramfs area. The only thing related to the boot
phase that i have customized, is probably /etc/modules:
speedstep-centrino
#acpi-cpufreq
cpufreq-userspace
cpufreq-conservative
cpufreq-powersave
cpufreq-ondemand
#ide-cd
#ide-detect
#ide-disk
#psmouse
#sonypi
I'm waiting for an update of some package that resolve the problem,
since i have no idea where to put my hands. Until now i exec these
command in the BusyBox shell on every boot:
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 /root
exit
And the system boot up (apparently) normally.
Regards.
Cesare.
