Nope, it still does not see /dev/hda. (strangely, after shellout,
instead of reboot, I also don't see /dev/hda, though the image has just
been succesfully copied over).

You said there were some other things to try?



I am trying a parallel method below, which is not to solve the udev
problem, but rather use the master script to dd the MBR in, to fix the
device.map, etc.

I am reading up on whether there is a problem having root and boot
separate (as I do). And finding out what grub.conf can do for me.

Now, going further, If I edit the grub command line I can boot but
not mount root. This might be /root and /boot separate?

So I could copy /boot over into /root, and then not mount /boot, and
delete the /boot partition, and enlarge /root over it, right. I'll see
if this makes a difference.

cheers,
Jan
