I have a server that I've loaded Mdk 8.1 onto, using LVM and XFS on two
hardware RAID5 arrays. Root is mounted on a non-LVM partition
(/dev/sdb1), of course.

I can't get kernel-enterprise to boot successfully. I've appended
devfs=nomount, devfs=mount failsafe, and devfs=mount, but none of the
three will boot on kernel-enterprise. I can boot on the standard UP
kernel with devfs=mount failsafe, but that cuts off my RAM at 896MB and
only sees one CPU. I've considered rebuilding the kernel, but frankly
don't see how that would change anything.

I've just spent the last four hours trying to understand why this isn't
working, and I may just be tired and not seeing something right in front
of my face.

Was/is there some sort of known bug in the stock 8.1 enterprise kernel
related to devfs? If not, would anyone have some light to shed on this
situation? I'd be most appreciative.
