Ok, it took a few days before I got another chance to look at this, but here's an update.

I ran 'discover' and 'discover --enable-all' as root; there was no output, and the /dev/sda nodes are still missing. mknod requires the major and minor device numbers, and I have no idea what those would be -- is that what discover is for? I don't believe it's a chipset/kernel module problem since as I said originally *nothing* about the hardware configuration or kernel configuration changed. My guess is just that those nodes got lost (no idea why or how) and I have to recreate them. Being as inexperienced with hardware and device hacking as I am, I have no idea how to do that. Thanks for your help.
