Tried the PPA over in  bug #567910, still get problems....

I am getting tempted to have ago at this myself.

May I suggest a fix for mountall to get this thing from being a show
stopper?

This whole thing could be avoided if a mount  for the file system read
from fstab is tried.  If this fails, then the 'press 'M' for shell, or
's' to skip' should be shown.  The file system is in /etc/fstab for a
reason, and having a blind go and checking the return code of the mount
operation is justified given that udev is creating all the device nodes
etc needed.

Missing an add/change event from udev in early boot can be a hard thing
to debug.,

unless you set a a 20G partition as LVM, add 10 !G LVs to /etc/fstab,
and run gdb on mountall in a terminal window...  You can activate and
deactivate the the test volume group with '# vgchange -a y
/dev/<volume_group>'  wile logged in to the desktop.


The heat needs to be taken off this one, and it can be fixed properly after the 
Lucid release with an update.
