Hi Stefan,

I only have virtual kernel packages installed, at least going by their
names:

# wajig list-installed | grep image
linux-image-2.6.32-33-virtual
linux-image-2.6.35-30-virtual
linux-image-virtual

When I presented this problem to Rackspace in a trouble ticket, missing
kernel modules was their hypothesis as well, and they suggested I try
to build my own kernel (something I have not done for quite some
time, and therefore something I have not gotten around to trying yet).

Using the (working) linux-image-2.6.32-33-virtual I get the following:
# cat /proc/partitions
major minor  #blocks  name
 202        1    9961472 xvda1
 202        2     524288 xvda2

I am betting, though, that you would like to see /proc/partitions for
the broken kernel. I will see if I can extract that out of the
Rackspace console later when I have a chance.

Thanks for your interest,
Clayton
