Bug#625738: >2TB SCSI disk size not recognized correctly
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686
Version: 2.6.32-31
I upgraded a machine from Lenny to Squeeze, and it failed to mount one
of the disks. Here is a large swath of dmesg from the failing kernel:

Obviously I couldn't continue using this kernel, as mounting and using
this disk is almost the entire *purpose* of this computer (file server).
So I ended up booting into the Lenny kernel instead. This works,
although I have to tell it the root device manually, presumably due to
incompatibility with Squeeze's udev.
The device in question is a hardware RAID (multiple SATA disks presented
as one SCSI device). I can attempt to get model numbers and so on if
those are relevant.
