Dear Maintainers,

I have a similar problem booting from an iscsi target, system is jessie 
with latest updates.

Every other time the initramfs shell comes up with a message (lvm root 
device not found). After "vgchange -ay", ctrl-d the system boots normally.

A simple "sleep 1" seems to work as workaround.

  modprobe -q dm-mod

+sleep 1
  activate_vg "$ROOT"
  activate_vg "$resume"


Also, noticed that iscsi is not listed as prereq and added iscsi to the 
PREREQ variable. However, with this change (without the sleep 1), still 
had the boot error.
