Hi Dan
One more thing: in the old kernel, USB sticks etc. used to appear consistently as /dev/sda - and I had some appropriate noauto entries in fstab for them. Now, presumably, they have to compete with the hard drive for that name. What to do?
Google for "udev rules", which are a way of giving consistent names to (typically USB) devices, although the rules are also useful for other things, such as making sure Ethernet adaptors have a consistent ethx number.
