I run F20 root FS with F21 **3.12.1-2.fc21.armv7hl **kernel. (see

I cannot boot from sata, as the root FS is being mounted about 4 seconds
before the sata device is ready during the fedora boot process.
(And yes, I understand uSD card is needed for uboot, kernel, mouting
/boot fs etc. That is perfectly acceptable - I just want the root FS and
swap to be coming from Sata for obvious reasons).
I try to understand the magics of Fedora boot, initramfs and the likes.
It seems I need to get a PhD for this! ;-)
*Question*: how do I ensure the root fs is mounted /AFTER /the sata
device is ready???
Some people suggested adding a sleep command ro a dependency - my
question is where and how in the initramfs do I do such a thing???
(again, when booting pointing the root fs to the sd card, the sata is
working fine at the first login as seen with fdisk -l).
does rootwait=10 help or is that a debian thing?
