Hi, I'm actually not too concerned about the "missing" partitions, as I do know that they exist - fdisk shows the partition table, and partprobe will make the partitions show up in /dev again.
I'm thinking it might have something to do with udev, but I'm not sure. Googling for this issue usually throws up results from more than 5-6 years ago, mostly from the static devfs to udev transition period.
