well if I got it right you changed disks ? And after re-running palo 1.2
from command line everything workd fine ? I don't know these internals
of palo - where it get's the kernel etc. from but it might be a problem
if boot disc completely changes ... you might simply try re-running
pal0-1.2patched from command line again and see what happens ?

And yes Matthew is 101% right that devfs at least on linux is a big
mess. It took me almost a week to fix some 2.5.xx and get it boot from
grub on an intel somewhen end of last year. Some weeks later I
installed FreeBSD 5.0R on that machine and I am happy with it ;-) so I
do no longer have the notes a hand (apart from backups) I took those
days about devfs.
