Yes, the cciss array will not be recognized and as a result you get a |

panic when root can't be found. Not a very revealing bug. We should |

also make sure that I wasn't stupid and missed some new kernel option |

that's needed, but I don't think so. I know of 4 commits targetting |
| 27 |
cciss which I suspect are the culprits. |
