Installing Linux 3.0 from sid with linux-base, initramfs-tools and linux-firmware makes my box boot.
Now, there is a fair distance between 2.6.38 and 3.0 + I am not an expert in kernel internals. I am grateful for your help, but I am afraid I will not propose a patch. Good to have apt for the dependencies and warning from the install script so that I could firmware in place. I noticed no much change in the initrd, but vgchange has been replaced. Looking at the messages attached, you can see that vgchange is at the root of the kernel issue. And what about /dev/mapper/ not being completed ?
