Root-device was the first partition the first SCSI disk exported as JBOD which in smart-controller terms means it is a raid0. /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 I was able to see the devices flying by during the booting of 2.6.14-rc1-mm1 so the controller, its disks and partitions were recognized correctly, it was just unable to map the major/minor number to a device or partition. best regards, Stefan Schmidt
