12 Hello Peter,
13
14 From a recent post ::LVM not accessible after reboot
15
16 Adding "rootdelay=30" to the kernel command line fixed it.
17
18 Go read that short thread on gentoo user and see if the delay helps
19 your boot process complete. I've also read (google) of many btrfs boot
20 problems being fixed by modifying the boot processes to ease timing
21 constrains related to the file system, particularly btrfs.
