This is a raid-0 array
After updating to kernel 3.9.x i have a boot delay
60 sec and more
the disk activity light is burning
keyboard is active
<Ctrl> + C i can see the disklight blink
Bootloader is Grub
It comes up on screen and where the line initrd-3.9.6-1.g8ead728 has to appear it halts en the delay 60 seconds and more happens
The log files dont give a clou
Changed to bootloader Grub2 and the delay is gone so for the time being problem solved
