OK, so what drove you to this conclusion? Why are you sure it's a udev problem? Or are you not sure?

How is your kernel configured for SATA and ATA? And right below that in the kernel's Device configuration section is SCSI device.

It looks to me like the NEC hda is but is the Plextor SATA? Yes, I can google PX-755A but someone else should have done that. ;-)
