Hi all,

After many hours spend last night trying to get my root filesystem
autorun when my kernel loads I discovered that sunos.c in fs/partitions
has no support for adding partitions to the list of eligible RAID
members. Before I go and fix the Solaris partition code (it can't work
out what type a partition is at the moment) and add in the
md_autodetect_dev() business, has anyone else already fixed this?

As far as I know nobody has mucked around with the code for autodetect
stuff on non-DOS disklabels.  Neil Brown has been advocating that people
not use the partition types, and let the userspace tools set things up. 
You can find his arguments in the archives for this list (info
linux-raid to majordomo@vger.kernel.org should get you some links to the
archives).
