Sorry, I have to see this to believe it. How the HELL can a bootloader cause this issue? Ain't now way. Its got to be coincidental that switching to LILO fixes it. I believe it triggers a rebuild of the device map that a recent update on HAL or UDEV or something similar caused the current device map to become bad or at least parsed wrongly.
