The bug is still there 4days before release :(
I think a timer cannot solve this problem. A timer is never a proper fix
when we have a sync pb.
We need synchronization here. cryptsetup should not start before the
end of disks detection.
As we are switching to an async boot sequence, it may be hard...but it
is mandatory.
