Looks like a possible candidate - thanks.

I think this patch is for mounting root on an md device when the partitions
aren't yet initialised.

However:
* When I run cfdisk I can read the partition table.
* Subsequent attempts to mount the xfs when /proc/partitions is clearly present
still fail.

? there isn't a 2.6.25.5
It doesn't apply to 2.6.25.4

I'll see if I can make it apply...
