Anyone know the reason for the following boot errors?

mknod: failed to create /dev/console
mknod: failed to create /dev/null
mknod: failed to create /dev/zero

This is with FC4 running on an older Compaq SMART-2SL array.

Aha! After upgrading the Compaq SMART-2SL firmware from 4.16 to 4.50, the mknod failures at boot went away.
