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.] ~daid
