Maks: if the disks do appear later, wouldn't that indicate a bug in
udevsettle returning before the RAID card is done initalizing (or a bug in
the driver for the card...perhaps it should support scsi_wait)? I'm not
sure what cryptsetup should/could do about it.

Daniel: a workaround you might want to try is to boot with the "rootdelay"
option, for example "rootdelay=10" should give your card 10 seconds to
catch up before cryptsetup and the other scripts are executed.
