Nope, it still
does not see /dev/hda. (strangely, after shellout,
instead of reboot, I also
don't see /dev/hda, though the image has just
been succesfully copied
over).
You said there were some other things to try?
I am
trying a parallel method below, which is not to solve the udev
problem, but
rather use the master script to dd the MBR in, to fix the
device.map,
etc.

I am reading up on whether there is
a problem having root and boot
separate (as I do). And finding out what
grub.conf can do for me.

Now, going further, If I edit the grub command line I can boot
but
not mount root. This might be /root and /boot separate?
So I could
copy /boot over into /root, and then not mount /boot, and
delete the /boot
partition, and enlarge /root over it, right. I'll see
if this makes a
difference.
cheers,
Jan
