mkinitrd is still failing to work on hardware with cciss drive controllers as of the Mar 3 daily build net install. These controllers have the filesystems in:
/dev/cciss/disc0/part1 and /dev/cciss/disc0/part2
The cciss stuff is now (thankfully) working with the partitioner instead of the garbled output from before, but not yet on this step. Below I have posted the outut from /var/log/messages

Selecting previously deselected package kernel-image-2.4-386.
Unpacking kernel-image-2.4-386 (from .../kernel-image-2.4-386_2.4.25-1_i386.deb)

Setting up kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386 (2.4.25-1) ...
You are attempting to install a kernel version that is the same as the version you are currently running (version 2.4.25-1-386). The modules list is quite likely to have been changed, and the modules dependency file /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-386/modules.dep needs to be re-built. It can not be built correctly right now, since the module list for the running kernel are likely to be different from the kernel installed. I am creating a new modules.dep file, but that may not be correct. It shall be regenerated correctly at next reboot.
I repeat: you have to reboot in order for the modules file to be created correctly. Until you reboot, it may be impossible to load some modules. Reboot as soon as this install is finished (Do not reboot right now, since you may not be able to boot back up until installation is over, but boot immediately after). I can not stress that too much. You need to reboot soon.
Please Hit return to continue. /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: Cannot determine root device
