I got a workaround for that problem with kernel 2.6.30 by introducing a 5 
second ROOTDELAY in 
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local and rebuilding initramfs.

Unfortunately 2.6.32 kernel crashes utterly shortly after starting a KDE4.x 
session. I filed a bug report for this problem (#568625)

Apparently Fedora suffered from a similar crash with Intel onboard graphics 
which is supposedly fixed in 2.6.33, but I have not yet tried this kernel.

Thanks,
Frank
