This was fixed in Ubuntu 8.04 (sorry we didn't follow up on this bug
before now):
initramfs-tools (0.85eubuntu24) hardy; urgency=low
* Implement the initramfs-tools part of the initramfs error handling spec
* update-initramfs:
- Make a hard link to the original initramfs image, rather than moving
it out of the way.
- Create a new initramfs image to ${initramfs}.new, to ensure we still
have a functional initramfs in case of failure. The original initramfs
only gets replaced when a new image is successfully created.
* scripts/functions:
- Added add_mountroot_fail_hook function to allow scripts in
init-premount to register a hook to allow extra information
to be given to the user, in the event of a non-existant root
device.
- The panic function now runs any registered mountroot fail hooks that
were previously registered, and only does so when passed the -r
argument from the calling function.
* scripts/local: Call the panic function with -r to run any registered
mountroot fail hooks when a root device cannot be found.

Removing old kernels is still outstanding, but is expected to be handled
by way of system-cleaner (or whatever it gets renamed to).
