EF Code First doesn't see all migrations

In my project I have dozen+ migrations. http://screencast.com/t/CA2kZk3WCFj But when I try to create database from scratch EF only starts from the marked migration to the bottom.

if I enter command: update-database -targetMigration InitialCreate this is the response: he specified target migration 'InitialCreate' does not exist. Ensure that target migration refers to an existing migration id.

How can I resolve this issue and make EF see all of the migrations?

Another solution could be to exclude all the migration class files from your project, and then adding a new migration, while targeting the new DB, thus scaffolding a new migration, which contains all of the changes. – Tobias
Unfortunately we have multiple running environments, production for example is not running on latest migration. Also there are some custom scripts that would be a pain to collect and merge in new migration. – pajics
Check that your migrations are in the correct namespace – michaelmsm89
I can't really test this anymore :). Fixed by recreating migrations from scratch. – pajics

This can often happen if you use the Update-Database command in Release mode. Running in Debug mode seems to work ok.
