[Linux-cluster] STABLE3: Cannot mount gfs, "no such device"

[David Merhar]

I'm using the vanilla kernel, 2.6.29.4.  I've held off on RH's kernel  
patches.

I've downloaded the source from http://sourceware.org/cluster.

Has anyone made this combination work?  Is there any more information  
I can give you?
