Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.53c
Followup-For: Bug #358153

By the time /scripts/local-top/md runs, there are no scsi devices created (at 
least in
 my machine with Adaptech cards).

The problem is related to udev, lasting many seconds to create /dev/sd*.

I solved the problem with a script called await which expects /dev/sda to 
appear in
/dev, and then waits about 5 seconds more. I installed the script in:

/etc/mkinitramfs/scripts/local-top/await

and regenerate the initrd.

The problem with my script is that, it is not a generic solution, machines 
without
/dev/sda will hang forever.  A general solution to sincronize scripts with udev
should be search.

The script is trivial, but If you need it I will be glad to give it.
