Kernel versions of native install and Live CD?
I susupect Hung's suggestion may be the answer. AFAIK grub is boot
strapping before the kernel, and so the devices can be named different
from BIOS and the install. I had a similar strange problem where I
needed symlinks for hd devices to sd devices or vice versa with an
older kernel and newer hardware (and I think some BIOS tweaks). [I'm
not recommending people to symlink devices, since that seems like a
bad way to do things, but I'm willing to be stupid for myself in cases
of need.]
