4.6.5 Boot timing issues

On some hardware setups (usb, lilo bootloader, md root..) the device
creation can happen to late for the boot scripts to act on. As quick
workaround issue the bootparam "rootdelay=9".
The specific timeout can be adjusted to the specific hardware. The
usual diagnosis is a boot with rescue shell and all expected hardware
devices were already created in between.


thanks for checking aboves sentences for correctness and adding
that to release notes.

cheers

Hi Maks,

I've committed a section based on the text you provided, but worded a bit 
differently. Thanks for providing the proposed text.

I've not mentioned lilo, as I could not see how that is related. However, 
the symptoms are included, so it may still help people that run into this 
issue for different reasons than root on USB or RAID.

Cheers,
FJP
