Thanks.
It was 'udev rules' that were messing things up, left over from using the disk on a different piece of hardware. To date I've been making only 'embedded' systems using busybox, and other similarly limited root environments and never really dealt with a pretty much full up distribution outside of my host development systems. Hence, never really had gotten in to 'udev'. I've been using devfs mostly till recently... However, in anticipation of large capacity flash systems, I've moved to making my embedded systems almost as full up as most host systems.
Is there some startup command line option for the linux kernel to force the 'udev' management program to basically 'ignore and refresh' device names?
