Hello Jürgen, I just discover udev (while devfs was never investigate on this hppa arch), so I am far from being an expert but I have a install which look like yours: a d380/2, excepted that I use soft raid1 for boot, swap, root and raid1+lvm2 for some more system stuff and even raid5+lvm2 for a data array ;-)

I have a look on my testing d380 and see that: # ll /dev/sda* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/disc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda1 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda10 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda2 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda3 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda4 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda5 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda6 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda7 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda8 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 21 17:38 /dev/sda9 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target5/lun0/part9 well for you: [...] scsi2 : ncr53c8xx-3.4.3g SCSI device sda: 4165272 512-byte hdwr sectors (2133 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 4165272 512-byte hdwr sectors (2133 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write through /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0: p1 p2 p3 < p5 p6 > [...] have a look in /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0 if part[123] and part[56] exist then you could try to create manualy links: /dev/sda1 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part1 /dev/sda2 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part2 /dev/sda3 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part3 /dev/sda5 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part5 /dev/sda6 -> /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target5/lun0/part6 then try to complete the boot (I am not familiar with initramfs, so I have no clue if Ctrl-D or init 2 will do the drill?) If that works, updating udev would also rebuild an initrd. That said, even thought you have a 2-way system, I would advise you to install and use temporarely a up kernel (right now there are still an issue with udev-0.084-5 for hppa smp which, tx to Kyle, would be soon fixed).
