I read about this last week - could this possibly be the problem?

"The changes that are being made for a faster-booting Linux have 
generally been welcomed, but when they lead to an apparent regression, 
complaints will be heard. That situation arose recently when Jeff Garzik 
reported a regression <http://lwn.net/Articles/330779/> that caused one 
of his systems to no longer boot. Because of some changes made to the 
way USB initializes, the system no longer recognized his disks in time 
to mount the root filesystem from them. As it turns out, the problem is 
not limited to disks, nor is it new; it is a longstanding race condition 
that previously was being "won" by most hardware, but that same hardware 
is often losing the race now. "
