So you're saying that Linux 3.5 didn't introduce any bugs, but simply
boots up so fast that the disk isn't initialized yet by the time the
initrd tries to activate LVM?

Couldn't this be fixed in initrd to try again every second for 5
seconds or so, if the root device hasn't appeared?
(Or maybe monitoring udev events, although that sounds much more complicated)
