From: Jan Glauber <jglauber@redhat.com>
Subject: [RHEL5 Patch] BZ 196943 - detect raid devices on s390

Booting from a raid device fails since the raid partitions are not
detected (and therefore the raid is not assembled).

This was already an issue for RHEL4 and is fixed there. Basically the
same patch is needed for RHEL5. The only difference is that
vtoc_format1_label is not longer a define but a struct.

Please ack,
Jan
