I vaguely recall some discussions some time ago - early this year, maybe - where it looked like "udev settle" wasn't working correctly in some cases. Problems like /home and other such partitions not getting mounted correctly because the devices didn't exist when the bootscripts tried to mount them. Your problem could be something similar, although I think in that case, the devices had appeared in /dev by the time the user had logged in. Might be worth an experiment, though - stick a "sleep 10" somewhere in the bootscripts, to see if that settles things properly... Simon.
