Is this screenshot from a domU or dom0 ? If it's from a domU then I |
| 32 |
think that in Xen you have a different driver than cciss for the |
| 33 |
disks. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If it's from a dom0, are you sure that you have the cciss driver |
| 36 |
built-in instead of a module ? From the screenshot it seems that it's |
| 37 |
not present at the point the kernel is booting. |
