Thanks for letting me know.. I can't think what problem you may be having, but it soulds as if I've broken the 'format probes' for your disks.. how are they set up, "dangerously dedicated?" What does /dev look liek (regarding these devices) in a working kernel. and I presume that you end up with a 'can't mount root panic' if so, can you look above and try see what error messages hte SLICE code gives as a reasomn fr rejecting those disks? you say they don't find your SCSI disks.. does it still find your root disk? (I guess it must as you seem to be able to boot enough to look in /dev) can you give me a copy of 'dmesg' from such a boot?
