        This came up on the LKML about a week or so ago, and persists in the 
latest devel kernels with DevFS. Seems more suitable to throw it over to the 
DevFS list, so here ya go. I'm getting the same problem. Anyone know anything 
about this?

grub requires this for being able to mount the root fs
(/dev/hde2) at boot time :

root=/dev//dev/ata/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part2

boot fails when the prefix is different from /dev//dev/ata.

This feature was introduced in 2.5.19
