devfs, cpqarray causes naming differences

[agelmar]

For starters, I am using 2.6.7-r11. My problem is this: I've a Compaq ProLiant 6000 server with a SMART-2DH RAID array. I can get it to boot, but it has a few problems. Namely, the system seems to mount the array in the devfs and non-devfs manners. If I do a ls /dev/ida, I see c0d0 which contains disc, part1, part2, part3, part4. If I do cat /proc/partitions, however, I see them listed as ida/c0d0, ida/c0d0p1, ida/c0d0p2, etc.

This is causing problems with my bootloader (I managed to run mkdev.ida from a bootcd in a chrooted environment to make the ida/c0d0 block device rather than directory, and get LILO to install... and it boots, but certain things like framebuffers aren't working, you can't re-run LILO... it's a bit of a mess).

If anyone has any ideas about how to get the two to have the same structure (either way), I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
