The problem isn't really mine, I just got the ball when it came to fixing it. :) The problem with rootdelay= is that it's a hammer when the problem requires a screw driver. In order to get reliability, you need to whack it hard and give it a long delay. But that has the unpleasant side effect of having the boot taking way much more time than it really needs. The original thread is here: http://marc.info/?t=117879392100022&r=1&w=2 At the end of that thread I suggest a more universal approach, which I submitted for comments here: http://marc.info/?t=117914570700004&r=1&w=2 I believe this is a more clean approach than forcing all subsystems to be synchronous.
