Not terribly on topic perhaps, but here's what worked -- a very odd solution: You need to create a console device node in dev on / behind the tmpfs mount that udev uses: # mkdir /tmp/root # mount --bind / /tmp/root # mknod /tmp/root/dev/console c 5 1 That got me past the missing

I use that exact board with the same setup. The RAID1 on it is not true RAID, so I use the Linux Software RAID to set up two RAID1 arrays of 2 drives each (i need two separate physical arrays for my purposes). It works well, and performance is good. Debian Sarge with the 2.6 kernel detects all
