how to fix the startup mounting problem
=======================================


1. to stop a race condition 

   nano /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init 

   (Make sure you get to the "mount" line. Lines numbers are likely different for your setup than mine.)

   maybe_break mount
   sleep 10
   log_begin_msg "Mounting root file system..."


2. to rebuild the image

   /usr/sbin/update-initramfs -uk all 


   (If this works you might try lower number than 10 to get the least delay needed. 
    If it doesn't some other delay could be added, here and there)
