If it's purely a race condition, surely pressing w for wait should sort it?
Presuming a PC, surely it will have grabbed the 1st disk (sda1) at least, before discovering this is all a mess of lvm. /boot is small. Can't you move it to sda1?
I'll try the rootdelay but it seems to me that over 8 disks (sdh or more) ubuntu 14 craps itself: scan-scsi-bus stops working (manually triggering the rescans work, though) and reducing the number of disks seems to mitigate the issue... weird.
