I'm tempted to reopen this bug report.
Manually adding the rootdelay parameter is all very nice as a workaround 
for this issue, but is it really an adequate solution?

How can we expect users to know that such an option is required?

How can we make sure in the installer that a first boot does not fail if a 
user does a RAID install?
Adding "rootdelay=x" by default for all mdadm (and crypto, and lvm?) 
installs does not seem like an attractive option.

There must surely be better ways to deal with this issue?

Cheers,
FJP
