Comment 87 for bug 290153

On my end rootdelay=200 doesn't even work. As you can see from dmesg, it initializes USB and some of the ata busses, then hangs for awhile and drops to initramfs. Then it waits awhile longer and finally detects the rest of the hardware and continues booting. Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L MB here (Intel G31/ICH7 chipsets). Two internal SATA drives + 4 more SATA drives in external enclosure connected via eSATA.
