  I've finally succeeded to install my machine, patching FAI's setup_harddisk
script, as Thomas suggested me.

  When I start my system on the hard disk (on raid array), with devfs,

sfdisk works :

$ sfdisk -s 
/dev/cciss/disc0/disc: 35561280
total: 35561280 blocks

It's not a problem of devfs because you don't seem to use it.

I don't understand why it doesn't work with the FAI kernel (problem with configuration ?
I've a home-built kernel for FAI from debian kernel 2.4.24, and it works for others machines...)

	Anyway, thanks for your info,

		Cheers,

		Fred.
