Is this screenshot from a domU or dom0 ? If it's from a domU then I think that in Xen you have a different driver than cciss for the disks. If it's from a dom0, are you sure that you have the cciss driver built-in instead of a module ? From the screenshot it seems that it's not present at the point the kernel is booting. -- Maciej Grela
