I am getting a root panic when i go to boot a 2.6 kernel on a 
proliant1600 booting from a smart2/dh controler.  driver is not module 
nor is ext fs 

Jul 16 00:44:15 server kernel: Compaq SMART2 Driver (v 2.4.25)
Jul 16 00:44:15 server kernel: cpqarray: Device 0xae10 has been found at 
bus 2 dev 0 func 0
Jul 16 00:44:15 server kernel: cpqarray: Finding drives on ida0 (SMART-2/P)
Jul 16 00:44:15 server kernel: cpqarray ida/c0d0: blksz=512 nr_blks=53309280
Jul 16 00:44:15 server kernel: blk: queue c036ac20, I/O limit 4095Mb 
(mask 0xffffffff)
Jul 16 00:44:15 server kernel: Partition check:
Jul 16 00:44:15 server kernel:  ida/c0d0: p1 p2 p3 p4 < p5 p6 >

is when it works on my 2.4 kernel

on 2.6 where Partition check is i get a error about it not being able to 
read /ida/c0d0   which is the disk descriptor  I was wondering if any 
one had ideas?
