THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN!! I thought I'd been around awhile... never recalling hearing of 'partprobe'. I ran it, and have been having a pile of problems with udev, and partprobe reveals that the system thinks I have this: [root@iam My Downloads]# partprobe -s /dev/hda: msdos partitions 1 2 /dev/sda: msdos partitions 1 WTF? I have ext3 partitions and lvm on hda... no wonder udev barfs. How do I safely fix this?? The boot sequence finds ext3 partitions, and everything gets mounted as such, or so I beleive. Something got clobbered during yum upgrade... I suspect. Thanks again for your timely post.
