[one line patch]
Yes, it makes a difference :-) . The boot doesn't fail anymore and
all the RAID partitions are correctly detected.
BTW, here is a little patch regarding a silly problem I found
about RAID partitions naming (/proc/partitions).
No more "md8" "md9" "md:" "md;" ... but "md8" "md9" "md10" "md11" ...
Well, this patch should work up to "md99".

For 2.2.x kernels, the file to be patched is drivers/block/genhd.c.
