Hi, I believe that the problem lies in grub's detection of devices. I am working on a patch to make this work correctly on cciss (which appears to be completely unsported at the moment). If I send you a patch for grub / new grub package for woody, will you be able to test it? I hope to have code to test available some time this week.
