I had a similar problem once (some time ago, don't know the system specs 
anymore). After some fdisk orgies, linux seemed to lose partition 
numbers. So I ended up with an extended partition that containded 
something like partitions 5,8,11 or something. The /dev/sdXY's were 
numered correctly, though. The only way I was able to fix this was to 
start from scratch.
