I guess you are missing something in the HDD driver stack. Maybe you should post your kernel config and lspci. Or, like Simon suggested, the drives don't spin up fast enough. >=20 > OK.

Using `make oldconfig` is also highly recommended. > When I run into this, it's because I forgot to put the root file system= > type in the kernel.
