* This bug applies to RH7.2 and 7.3, as well as recent betas. If the kernel is passed 'root=/dev/cciss/c1d0p2' (i.e. root partition is on a drive attached to the *second* cciss controller) then the kernel will be unable to mount the root partition and will subsequently panic when it tries to call init. Whereas if the root partition is from the first cciss controller the analogous parameter 'root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p2' works just fine. The recent public beta (Limbo beta 1) gets around this issue by using partition labels (i.e. 'root=LABEL=/'). This works, but if you change the root= parameter to the device name the same problem appears.
