Hi Hans, ...

Do you happen to know exactly which driver is needed for this device ?

Could you send us a : 

  find /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/0.f3000000:ohare 

output, so we know this ? I suppose this is just that yaird doesn't know about
the intermediary nodes between the actual block driver and the hardware it
knows of, so will be rather easy to fix.

Erik, Jonas, what about a "i know what i do" option, which would allow to
ignore this kind of in-between nodes, provided that the final block driver is
known ?

Friendly,
