I have installed Arch Linux on a server machine with a LSI hardware RAID 5.
When the machine boots, it says:
:: Triggering uevents...
udevd[37]: worker [41] timeout, kill it
udevd[37]: seq 547 '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:01:07.0' killed
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda1 ...
udevd[37]: worker [41] terminated by signal 9 (Killed)
ERROR: device '/dev/sda1' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sda1'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting.
[ 41.896810] sd 4:1:0:0: [sda] Asking for cache data failed

[rootfs /]#
Now if I do type "exit", I get the following message:
Trying to continue (this will most likely fail) ...
:: mounting '/dev/sda1' on real root
:: running cleanup hook [udev]
INIT: version 2.88 booting
[and so on]
...and the machine boots nicely.
What's wrong here?
