Can you test if the following patch on top of the Debian 2.6.26 kernel
fixes the problem for you?

This appears to fix the problem, in that I get much farther and then get stuck in the init-premount scripts because it can't vary my root disk online. *But *that* is probably because, on this host, I've been using by-path disk IDs, and I'd been changing various kernel build parameters to roll the DASD drivers into the kernel (that is, not use them as modules). *So that is very likely my fault.
I suspect this issue is resolved. *Get me an "official" kernel image build with it (and with the requisite modules) and I'll be happy to test, or I can build another one tomorrow (which will, alas, take all day again).
