Comment 4 for bug 66220

I would volunteer to fix this in edgy if someone could point me in the right direction. I'm a developer but I have minimal experience with os-level hacking on linux. I can fiddle with initrd images but I don't know what was missed / broken to cause this bug.

Anyone care to give me a few clues so that I can work on a fix that works with edgy? I think it's pretty lousy to leave the "production" distro broken since the fix is available and the distributed documentation indicates that usb install is working.
