Re: Unable to mount SCSI root fs with pr0.10test1 or test2

[Chris Croswhite <ccroswhite@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just ran a clean Wolverine install on an Adaptec equiped machine and 
ran into NO PROBLEMS.  This would lead me to believe that the XFS 
install has in someway changed what anaconda is doing or this has 
something to do with DFS?  I have not a clue.  Is there anyone who can 
clear this up?
TIA,
Chris
