Thank you once again, i will port my program to use 1.6.x of parted.
BTW, my problem still exists even if I use parted 1.6.2.  The following is
the total scenario of my problem.

I have a SCSI based RAID device with Mylex RAID card and i am using RAID
level 5.  I tried to partition using the tool which i have written using
libparted 1.4.x (now i will be porting it to 1.6.x as suggested by Andrew)
which said "No device found".

So, i tried with Redhat 7.3 installation.  The Diskdruid was able to show
the device (/dev/rd/c0d0) properly.  Though, when i tried the same using
parted in their (Redhat 7.3 installation) "shell" mode, i got "No device
found".  Can anyone guide me what could be the possible cause of this
problem?

However, if I use 2.4.17 kernel my program is able to get devices list
(ped_device_get_next() is able to return a valid device).  Now i am using
2.4.18-3 (the same kernal that RH 7.3 installation is using).

TIA,

V. Varadhan.
