Yep! That worked. (I.e. the correct style name is being used - something else is holding up the Mandriva installed system, but it's not this problem, I don't think.)
Thanks a bunch.

Created attachment 526182 [details] /proc/cmdline content This is from a Mandriva 2011 H1 x86_64 install, Mandriva calls the RPM "dracut-010-6-mdv2011.0.noarch" [Jumping in from Mandriva, apologies if unwanted / trivial / not your problem ;) ] After an install which correctly detected and read my existing partitions on a software RAID 10, Intel PCH chip, boot fails to use the correct names leading to a "<28>dracut Warning: No root device "block:/dev/mapper/isw_djeeejebai_BigVolume10p5" found." The name /dev/md126 had been used by dracut. The system which installs Mandriva 2011 uses the right names (i.e. the names that are used in version 2010 and the names which show up in the /etc/fstab) The live system works just fine, i.e. dracut uses the correct name. Attached my attempt at providing the documentation suggested by the excellent "how to" guide. Best regards Jens
