I've moved from:
        md=4,/dev/sdf5,/dev/sdg5
to:
        md=4,/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target30/lun0/part5,\
        /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target32/lun0/part5

And now get:
        md: Unknown device name,\
        /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target30/lun0/part5,\
        /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target32/lun0/part5.

   : (

md_setup() is displaying the error due to failing on name_to_kdev_t().
root_dev_setup() calls name_to_kdev_t() with a long devfs name without a
problem, so that's not the issue directly.

I think md_setup() is being run before the devfs names are fully registered,
but i have no clue how the execution order
of __setup() items is determined.

Help?

Dave


md_setup() is run VERY early, much earlier then raid_setup().
