In my case, I didn't see this error message.  However, I might have
overlooked it, I wasn't watching each of about 500 plus transactions
closely.  However, grub didn't list it as an entry and there was no
intrafs image.

Just for fun, I manually added it, wondering if I'd missed some
discussion somewhere, and just left out the initrd line.  It booted
without problem.  I'm actually using it now, to ssh into a BSD box that
I use for most mail.

In addition, for those using the ath9k drivers, it's already gone about
30 minutes without dropping the connection, so it's possible that's been
fixed.

Willow: I just talked to Buffy, and yeah, I think she's feeling a
little... insane. No, not bitchy crazy, more like homicidal 
maniac crazy. So I told her to come see you, 'kay?
