Incorrect dependency in initramfs script, system fails to boot. Patch attached

Bug Description

This affects feisty.

scripts/local-top/lvm should depend on scripts/local-top/mdadm, which depends on scripts/local-top/udev. Instead the lvm script depends on 'md'.

On my system, the lvm script is run before the udev script, which makes it unable to find the HDD, on which a LVM root partition resides.

The attached patch fixes the dependency.

I am having exactly the same problem.

Changing the scripts /usr/share/initramfs-tools/{hooks,scripts/local-top}/lvm and use PREREQ="mdadm" instead of PREREQ="md" indeed makes the system boot again.

  * Change local-top and hook prereq on mdadm and not md.
  (Closes Ubuntu: #72387)

  * Bump Depends on mdadm to make sure mdadm is available.
