The problem is likely that the boot is continuing in parallel with
detecting the card, because the card detection is running in its own
separate thread. Meanwhile, the init thread is trying to read from
the as-yet missing root device and erroring out.
Thanks, I can work around this by using the rootdelay kernel parameter.
So does that mean this is the expected behavior, or should I do anything
in the bootup sequence to make the init process wait for mmc detection?
