Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/31035

Affects: linux-source-2.6.12 linux-image-2.6.12-9-686 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
The DAC960 module loads fine during install from CD-ROM. Installation
completes without error. However all subsequent boots fail with the
following error:

ALERT! /dev/rd/cNdNpN does not exist. Dropping to shell!

(Where N is numercial and will differ according to installation)

It seems that that the DAC960 module is not loaded.

Although version 2.6.10 installs and works correctly with the DAC960
Raid Controller, upgrading to 2.6.12-9 and 2.6.12-10 causes the boot
process to fail with the same error.

Upgrading from Warty to Breezy and booting using the old Warty Kernel is
the only way I can get Breezy to boot on this Raid Controlled server.
