The bottom line is about half the time I try to boot the system, it fails

I'm not sure what exactly is failing here. Once the disk identifies itself on
the bus, a udev event causes the device node to get created. Does it get
created?

What exactly is the error message when boot.lvm fails to assemble the logical
volumes?

boot.md will wait 60 seconds for all udev events to get processed. Would it
help to increase that (in /etc/sysconfig/mdadm, the value is
MDADM_DEVICE_TIMEOUT)?

Otherwise, you have to let us know exactly where in the chain things fail
