This is what I usually employ:
$ cat /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/scsi_wait_scan
#!/bin/sh
PREREQ="udev"
prereqs()
{
echo "$PREREQ"
}
case $1 in
# get pre-requisites
prereqs)
prereqs
exit 0
;;
esac
. /scripts/functions
log_begin_msg "Waiting for SCSI scan to finish"
modprobe scsi_wait_scan
modprobe -r scsi_wait_scan
_log_msg "udev to process events ... "
wait_for_udev
log_end_msg
The same could be achieved by inserting the above modprobes before
udevadm settle in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/udev,
and it's the very point of those lines, I guess: to wait for the
necessary devices to appear. Of course not all systems have a SCSI
bus, so some extra cleverness would also be required. But this is a
very frequent reason for boot failure after installation, and
something really should be done about it. Rootdelay is of course
documented, but that isn't a technically sound practice. Let's find
one, if possible!
