Lost Partition

I have just upgrade my kernel to 2.4.12 and in the process I've lost a
partition on my secondary IDE drive. Since this is my /usr partition
it's kind of important ;)

Here is the relevant section from my dmesg output and fdisk (note
/dev/hdb5 is the one missing). The output from fdisk in recovery mode
can see the partition and the ID looks correct but the kernel seems to
have an 'issue'.

If you need any more details just ask.

Vince.
