I had a problem with a 1950 booting up off of a Promise raid array
connected via SCSI.

My kludge was to add

for x in 1 2 3 4 5
do
  /bin/sleep 5
  if [ -e ${ROOT} ]; then
    break
  fi
  vgchange -ay ${vg}
done

to the end of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm and
then run /usr/sbin/update-initramfs

I'm not sure if your problem is the same, but just in case....
