Stock kernel not working with raid / lvm setup

[MRH]

For years I've been using self-build kernels (from kernel.org) for this
or that reason. Recently I decided to use debian stock kernel instead.
Should be so much easier and faster. Well, it did not work.

I have installed
linux-headers-3.9-1-amd64
linux-image-3.9-1-amd64
(I run amd64, debian wheezy/sid)

but on reboot it could not load raid modules - seems they are neither
compiled in nor installable as modules. I'm getting the following messages:

------------
modprobe: module dm-raid45 not found in modules.dep
...
modadm: No devices listed in conf file were found
...
Volume group "blahblah" not found
...
Gave up waiting for root device
------------

The kernel I build works fine. Does it mean I cannot use Debian stock
kernel and have to keep building my own?

This has helped, thank you!

I needed to add it to the lines in
/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rootdelay=5 quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rootdelay=5"

then run (as root):
update-grub
