Hi Darryl,

I wonder what /dev/mapper/sil_ahabbjcdfeab actually is? A quick Google 
on "/dev/mapper/*" yields links concerning RAID, LVM, one thread is 
on "strange problems with REALLY long filesystems" [Charles' qualifies,] 
several others on encrypted root filesystems... gibberish or artifact or 
remnant, whatever, this really deserves a closer look since the system has 
on-board hardware RAID.

I can't wait to see what grub produces for a device.map, either!
