Well, at least you don't have a failing /dev/hda drive.  Does the bios
know that there is no drive there; could it be the ide controller
complaining?  Just to confirm, your single hard drive is really scsi on
a scsi controller, not e.g. a sata controller with a sata drive?

Is udev somehow involved?  I don't know where to look, except that the
config would be somewhere in /etc.  I think you've received a suggestion
to grep /etc/ for hda.

Then again, you're running Lenny or Sid, so who knows?
