And those are USB attached, I guess.

So the test for the block device appears to return a false value.

Can you check from the console

OK, we can assume that from the working software.

Can you run something like this from the console

[ -b /dev/sda1 ] && echo "/dev/sda1 is a block device" || echo 
"/dev/sda1 is not a block device"

We are calling mdev very early in the init process to populate the /dev 
directory, then give the kernel a bit of time, e.g. the value of 
usb_wait in seconds to finish its job.

Do you set the usb_wait parameter in syslinux.cfg? If not could you 
please try to set it to maybe 5 or even 10 so the init process would 
wait a little longer to initially populate the /dev directory? The mdev 
utility just makes the kernel spawn quite a number of processes to 
populate the /dev directory and it might just not have finished yet.

cheers
