I was very pleased when I saw that the Woody root disk now supports the Mylex block device driver (/dev/rd/*). This was to mean no more RH or Slackware for me.
However, I have run into a slight problem with the Debian install script and looking for suggestions or wondering if it should be submitted as a bug. fdisk creates the partions with a name like '/dev/rd/c0d0p2' c0 = first controller, d0 = first array pack, p2 = partition 2. When I tell the Debian install script to format and mount the partition, it sees it as '/dev/rd/c0d02' (dropping the 'p') and thus can't format it because '/dev/rd/c0d02' is not a valid device file. I said fine, and created a '/dev/rd/c0d02' device and it was able to format it. However, it could not mount it. After it mounts, a dialog box comes up immediately and informs me that "The root device has unexpectedly changed, from /dev/rd/c0d02 to /dev/rd/c0d0p2." Now, I am stuck in this vicious circle and can't get any further until it mounts the partitions without warnings. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. - JT
