Are we talking about SSDs, USB flash devices, or compact flash cards in
PATA adaptors?  Also, how are you able to do an ls on /dev?  How are you
booting this machine to see this?

I would also be interested in the output of the following:

for each in `ls /dev/*` ; do parted $each print ; done

You may need root privileges for that command.

Well for one the kernel versions are very different.  According to Free:
"The problem is that the 3.0 alpha release still uses the 2.6.21
kernel..." so we are not dealing with apples to apples here.  64Studio 3
alpha uses 2.6.21 and the latest Ubuntu kernel is 2.6.27-9.19  I suspect
that the newer udev/hotplug userspace apps that ship with Ubuntu may be
acting weirdly with such an old kernel.

For you, the 64 Studio kernel might not in fact support your laptop.
The Compaq/HP I just sold (it gave me 2 miserable years) was similar to
yours.  Things did not stabilize until the 2.6.24 era of kernels in
addition to a couple of BIOS updates.  You may need to build your own
kernel and install it via a chroot dpkg.

Hth,
