Seeing as some haven't had the same problem, perhaps some investigation into the details of the systems which HAVE problems (currently two on this ML thread) would be useful?
but how to investigate? Which information do you need? These packages were updated during my system update to [testing]: device-mapper (2.02.53-1 -> 2.02.56-1) udev (146-2 -> 149-1) initscripts (2009.08-1 -> 2009.11-1) iptables (1.4.5-1 -> 1.4.6-1) klibc (1.5.15-3 -> 1.5.15-4) klibc-extras (2.5-4 -> 2.5-5) klibc-kbd (1.15.20080312-10 -> 1.15.1-2) klibc-module-init-tools (3.8-1 -> 3.8-2) klibc-udev (141-3 -> 141-4) mdadm (2.6.9-1 -> 3.1.1-1) mkinitcpio (0.5.26-1 -> 0.5.26-2) pcmciautils (015-2 -> 016-1) pm-utils (1.2.6.1-2 -> 1.2.6.1-3) xz-utils (4.999.9beta-1 -> 4.999.9beta-2) zlib (1.2.3.3-3 -> 1.2.3.4-3) The packages which are involved into the boot process/the initrd need urgently be moved from [testing] to [core]. I suspect most mkinitcpio but every other package including the device mapper related packages could also be the reason because I've encrypted my whole system with dm-crypt/LUKS. The /boot partition is of course not encrypted. I'm running a simple x86_64, SATA only system with no esoteric hardware.

I've been using [testing], so haven't had problems.
That's obvious. ;-) Greetings, Heiko
