As some form of workaround, I removed all non-essential mounts (namely all vfat 
mounts) from /etc/fstab, mounting them manually after I log in. The system 
appears to be booting regularly now, although it is still printing the 
ureadahead errors posted above.
So it is probably dependent on the number of mounts - with too many parallel 
mount requests, the probability that the vital mounts are processed in time 
(i.e., before the parallel bootup process starts accessing things that are not 
yet available) will get smaller. But that's just what my guts say.

Is this a known phenomenon? Any tips/ways to change my configuration in
a way that will fix this? Does somebody know the cause of this problem?

Thanks for any insight.
