We've put a pretty sizeable delay already directly in the kernel. There is =
now a noticeable pause before the mount root step is about to be performed.=
 We don't see the problem often now, but even with this delay it still occa=
sionally happens. The problem is that when a system is rebooted programmati=
cally there isn't anyone around to go to the console and reboot manually. I=
t would be nice to be able to reboot a system and have confidence it will a=
ctually reboot...
