Yes, in my case the delays are so long - sometimes 2 or 3 minutes -
that when I tried to build the system using RAID1 I got this kernel
bug in dmesg. It's jsut info - not a real failure - but because it's
talking about long delays I gave up on RAID and tried a standard
single drive build. Turns out that it has (I think...) nothing to do
with RAID at all. you'll not that there are instructions for turning
the message off but I've not tried them. I intend to do a parallel
RAID1 build on this machine and be able to test both RAID vs non-RAID.
