Solved the mount problem with Etch :)
I had to disable device-mapper. I followed the instructions in the
following posting and commented out all references to dm-mod and dm-mirror.

I'm thinking that the problem may not be the kernel after all. I
rebooted using the 2.6.8 kernel and it still didn't work, so now I'm
thinking it may be something in Etch rather than the kernel ??
Should the 2.6.8 Sarge kernel work with an Etch installation ??? It
is an upgrade from Sarge to Etch, not a fresh installation of Etch.

mdadm is not installed.
My adaptec raid card provides hardware raid, so I don't think I
need mdadm. I certainly did not need it when I was running
Sarge/2.6.8, so I presume that shouldn't need it for Etch/2.6.18.
My mistake. Were you using an in-tree driver for your adaptec card
or a
third-party driver? Did you check to see if the name of the kernel
module changed in the 2.6.8 -> 2.6.18 transition?
It looks like the modules that I have specified are all loaded, so I
guess that means that the names haven't changed.
I was wondering if using the generic i2o_* modules instead of the
adaptec dpt_i20 module may fix things?
I sort of doubt it. Maybe it's a compiler issue with new gcc-4.1
code generation ???
My /etc/modules file is:
ide-cd
ide-disk
ide-generic
psmouse
sd_mod
aic7xxx
# NOTE: The i2o drivers have some bugs in them which conflict with
the

# NOTE: This is apparently fixed in 2.6.15 in late December,
therefore
# NOTE: any kernel released in 2006+ _should_ work.
