Bug#417938: lvm2create_initrd missing pieces

[Phil Dibowitz]

By the way, I figured out what the problem was.

The lvm2 hook for initramfs-tools is specifically looking for the mapper
path, such as "root=/dev/mapper/vg00-root" as opposed to the canonical path,
"root=/dev/vg00/root"

It regex's out /dev/mapper and then splits on "-" to get the group and
logical volume to activate.

Can the scripts either be updated to recognize either format, or can the
documentation be updated to be very clear on this requirement?

Thanks.
