aufs overlay error shortly after starting installer

The actual issue here is that overlayfs is not building and we are trying to fallback to aufs, which is also broken.

/me investigates.

Сan't start after load iso image on hyper-v server 2008 r2 sp1.

Ubuntu 13.04 CD daily build from 14.11.2012.

(initramfs) mount: mounting aufs on /root failed: No such device aufs mount failed.

It is related with Linux Kernel 3.7 or Upstart 1.6?

Affects Lubuntu amd64 daily 20121115 as well. Appears to be conflict of kernels.

If usefull I can add:
(initramfs) + [ -e /conf/param.conf ]
+ /scripts/panic/plymouth
+ [ -e /conf/param.conf ]
+ REASON=aufs mount failed PS1=(initramfs) /bin/sh -i

If I will find any more SHOW-STOP-ers bugs marked low I will make sure I will tell Mark to fire that ass.

@Anca

I don't see that this bug was ever marked as low. Are you referring to another bug?
