Some potentially useful output below. >From 2.6.25 onwards, megaraid_mm (the new megaraid driver) doesn't define its own block device like 2.4 did, but instead uses the misc devices. So, if you cat /proc/misc and megadev0 doesn't show up, it's a kernel problem. If it does, it's a debian udev problem.
