If you have problems with a disk or disk controller being slow to load
or be recoginsed by udev,  there is a boot time parameter
udev_timeout

On the boot stanza in grub or lilo add udev_timeout=NN  where NN is in
seconds

I would think that your problem is not this, as the symptoms sound
different. Martin will have the answer for you.
I provide the udev_timeout tip for information - might help with older
hardware.
