Kernel versions of native install and Live CD? |

I susupect Hung's suggestion may be the answer. AFAIK grub is boot |
10 |
strapping before the kernel, and so the devices can be named different |
11 |
from BIOS and the install. I had a similar strange problem where I |
12 |
needed symlinks for hd devices to sd devices or vice versa with an |
13 |
older kernel and newer hardware (and I think some BIOS tweaks). [I'm |
14 |
not recommending people to symlink devices, since that seems like a |
15 |
bad way to do things, but I'm willing to be stupid for myself in cases |
16 |
of need.] |
