Symbios problems in recent -mm trees?

["Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@mbligh.org>]

If you look on http://test.kernel.org/, you'll see in the rightmost
column there's a yellow box under elm3b70 for 2.6.13-rc4-mm1, but
current mainline kernels are all green (ie no problems). That means
one test failed, in this case making an fs on the spare partition. 
Odd. I went digging ...

Looks like this got introduced between 2.6.12-mm1 and 2.6.12-mm2
Sorry, should've caught it earlier. I'll blame OLS or something.
This is an 8x power4 box running "bare metal" (ie not on top of
the hypervisor).

seems /dev/sdc1 doesn't exist.
07/31/05-02:44:32 processing command: (5) 'fs --partition=1 --mkext2fs --mount -l /mnt/tmp'
n format
PARTITION='/dev/sdc1'
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
mkfs.ext2: No such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size
07/31/05-02:44:32 fs: creating filesystem ext2 Failed rc = 1

Looking back at the bootlog (http://test.kernel.org/9609/debug/console.log),
I see it really not looking very happy (snapshot below).

Good bootlog is here for comparsion:
