Re: cpqarray issue

Thanks.  I had a sneaky feeling late last night that this is what I'd have 
to do.  The question then remains:  Why do I suddenly need to do this?  I 
didn't have to when I loaded 2.2.17.  Is this such a special case (having 
only a Compaq Smart2 SCSI RAID array and not a regular IDE drive)?

Hopefully Debian can look into this a bit.  I'm sure there are others out 
there that would like to run something very similar (oh, like some folks I 
know at VA Linux).

I'll try this.  Again, thanks for the advice and for saving me from punting 
to an IDE/RAID combo kludge.
