nash boot hang mystery solved

Installing the following rawhide rpms and recompiling nash fixed the boot hang when activating dmraid on a 2.6.17 kernel:

parted-1.7.0-1.i386.rpm
parted-devel-1.7.0-1.i386.rpm
pyparted-1.7.0-1.i386.rpm

which is the correct output and the floating point error is gone.  Smiles :)

Ok here is what I am trying:

kernel version: 2.6.16-1.2208_FC6 (devel version based on linux kernel 2.6.17rc4-git9)
device-mapper-1.02.07-1.0 (devel version)
Red Hat nash version 5.0.40 built from the source rpm (devel version).
dmraid version:         1.0.0.rc11 (2006.05.15) debug (devel version)
dmraid library version: 1.0.0.rc11 (2006.05.15)
device-mapper version:  4.6.0
-------------
dmraid works, I can mount and use my striped raid all I want.  The thing that still locks up is 
nash during the dmraid activation sequence.  Any other ideas as to how to get nash to work with 
the new kernel?

# nash
(running in test mode).
Red Hat nash version 5.0.40 starting

rmparts hdg
rmparts hde
create pdc_jbeijfhe
