Hi, just to add one more data point: I run into the same issue (well, 2.6.20 had other problems, so I turned to http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~tobiasnadler/linux/kernelcompile.html for some help with 2.6.21), but: adding a delay is sooo bad solution, it even has serious support (see rootdelay in man initramfs-tools). What's more, if not found, initramfs checks for the root device ten times a second for 3 minutes before dropping into the debug shell. But the premounts scripts (mdadm, lvm, multipath, etc.) are only run once, so this doesn't help in such cases. I contemplated inventing some udev rules to get the premount stuff (multipath and lvm in my case) happen automatically in the background. That would make the root device appear and trigger a new try to mount it. I didn't get to that yet... -- Cheers, Feri.
