I think this patch is for mounting root on an md device when the partitions aren't yet initialised. However: * When I run cfdisk I can read the partition table. * Subsequent attempts to mount the xfs when /proc/partitions is clearly present still fail. > this patch is for 2.6.25.5 kernel ? there isn't a 2.6.25.5 It doesn't apply to 2.6.25.4 I'll see if I can make it apply...
