This bug report has lost its focus entirely. I believe the original
issue, that the casper-rw persistence file did not have a proper ext3
filesystem, has been indirectly fixed with other changes to the main
install routine.

I didn't have to add rootdelay when i made my first stick, it was
after a update around Apr 3rd that this
occurred. not having a workaround until a fix can be made is not good
either, if the person working to fix
this knows the area to look perhaps a fix will come sooner.

I appreciate that we have a semi-successful workaround with rootdelay,
but does anyone really find adding one or more minutes to your boot time
an acceptable solution?
In my case, the device in question is a 3ware hardware RAID. This
didn't happen with older kernels / ubuntu releases, which leads
try adding rootdelay=90 to the grub boot line.
I just tried it and had successfull boot to the desktop, you might be
