We've put a pretty sizeable delay already directly in the kernel. There is now a noticeable pause before the mount root step is about to be performed. We don't see the problem often now, but even with this delay it still occasionally happens. The problem is that when a system is rebooted programmatically there isn't anyone around to go to the console and reboot manually. It would be nice to be able to reboot a system and have confidence it will actually reboot...
